2013 World Cup Rumour Mill with @Team Rumours Part 5
The 2012 World cup race season is over and the silly season has begun! The master of conjecture and speculation, Mr @teamrumours, has fired up his Twitter account and has begun teasing us with his detailed insider knowledge and artistic ability with crayons. Here’s the latest instalment…
Rainbow of opportunity. Hmmmm…rainbow stripes, Holly and a bike with odd shaped wheels?
Garden Of Eden. What do you think? Specialized trying to lure Aaron Gwin into temptation with the mighty dollar? Whatever, I think @Team Rumors has hit the Christmas sherry early, the quality of the artwork, the brush stroke, the subtle tone and definition of light and dark is lacking from his sterling original work.
Press play while you decipher the runes from above.
What’s Wyn Masters doing riding that bull? This is starting to remind me of Catchphrase…say what you see!
Here’s the recipe…but what’s cooking?
Well part of this one is pretty simple, but can you name the 5th rider? Or is one of them expecting a kid… (Thought I’d throw that one out there to get the rumour mill going full tilt)
Who’s the rider…or should I say company that won’t back down?
This one has to be Sam Dale, but where’s he off to? And as far as we know it’s not Dirt.
Some sort of aggressive dog looking to visit Trek or Specialized?
Internet shopping?
MTBCut, Enduro, Germany?
Black Beauty and the Beast. Some sort of white horse with a New Zealand fern ridden by some hairy shaggy bloke…what do you reckon?
Can you name all of them?

















Hmmm, but it was Eve that was tempted by the apple…. So is it a girl maybe???
Morgane Charre signing with Monster energy Specialized?
Na look at the trek logo in God’s pitchfork!
I thought Gwin signed for another two years on Trek…
Defo Gwin, trek logo on the pitch fork, and he has a halo to make him a saint (as in shimano) And the Snake sure looks like the big S??
Adam and Eve. Brayton?? Go on lad!!!!
God looks a lot like Martin Whiteley as well
It looks to me like Trek World Racing will be switching from Shimano/Saint to SRAM/Rockshox for the coming season?
Could well be! is it a fox in this S (Shimano) river? And God/Witley seem quite unhappy (after Shimano for the brake failure at world champs).
SRAM surely need some potential winner as they’ve lost sponsorship of Santa Cruz last year.
After running around like a headless chicken, Evil bikes are back for 2013.
Specialized on Shimano!
is that a brocken bridge over the river – could mean a broken contract? If specialized get gwin and have sam and troy – that would be a very strong team.
Sambo to Uk Brand….isn’t that supposed to wait until the new year?
Or does everyone know that Hill is riding for CRC next year?
its sam dale not sam hill
Sam Hill apparently
could have something to do with brayton , he was testing a demo8 a few weeks ago
Tracy Moseley leave Trek for Specialized
Apart from the “devil” doesn’t have the trek logo, the inner lines go the wrong way?
Snake certainly looks like S of Specialized. Adam and eve? Possibly Brayton??? But i don’t get the Halo??? Trees, river and a lake? as in lake district?? I don’t think so, but can’t see anything else???
MTBcut on Canyon.
The snake looks like the Specialized “S” for sure. And given we know how much Gwin is a fan of the big man upstairs, he’s probably the guy with the halo, being tempted away from TWR to Specialized. Only other really religious person in DH I can think of is Mick Hannah.

With translation. Anyone know for sure?
Why would a small german site get the news first?
They didn’t they just posted the press release to early
i recon the latest one is specialized trying to get ‘the king’ shaun palmer onto the team!
Hill to CRC. Confirmed!
http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Aaron-Gwin-on-Trek-for-3-More-Years.html gwinny is on trek for 3 more years he is not on specialized
Now that he’s there…was this just added or was this hint he was coming over? Sure looks him — http://www.chainreactionhub.com/crc-nukeproof-team
I reckon the latest one is Holly Feniak, riding her junior world champs rainbow stripes right into the big time. She sure did impress at Leogang. Wonder who she will be riding for.
Holly feniak riding for polygon bikes?
and I can reveal that Holly Feniak, 2012 Junior Womens World Champion, will be riding for Lambretta in 2013
hollycow: a scooter makes it to the world cup, with a motor too! like she actually needs it.. pfft!!
Holly Feniak gets picked up and runs 650b wheels?
Defo Holly Feniak in for the win! #Canadawillbeontop #gostevieandholly
holly on polygon bikes
tats will be cool..she’ll riding along with SickMik .. wait, Tracey Hannah?
Matti Lehikoinen on Evil bikes?
so.. Logan Bingeli & Kevin Aielo still on KHS ??
the holly leaf has gotta be the junior girl world champ?
Gwin on Spesh??? is it for real?
Teamrumors are so right it’s scary.
Which are left to puzzle out? The recipe for success?
