Specialized said at their training camp that any transfer news will be announced on Dec 25th; would love to know why MTB teams leave it so late, when 1st August is the time road teams can announce new signings.
I think the rumours are Vidaurre, and somebody else; only issue is Frei was rumoured to be leaving - but has been on the team camp in the USA; you wouldn't normally do that if you were leaving.

Who knows what is happening? Avancini has announced he's leaving, but not where he's going to. Then there is the Kross team folding. As I already said, I really don't understand why it takes this long to announce signings. Probably another example of MTB being behind the road world commercially.

I recall her riding with them for the Arctic Tour; then there were the rumours about her possibly leaving; however, would you really go to a team camp if you were leaving? I presume there is some type of agreement between Specialized & SD Worx, as Blanka Vas was with the Specialized team when she did MTB World Cups. And previously, Annika Langvad did some Spring Classics in 2019 for them. And Anna van der Breggen rode the Cape Epic with her.

Specialized Factory Racing announces two new signings to be confirmed

We are in the final month of the year and with it starts the countdown to unveil all the new signings for the next XCO season.
en.brujulabike.com en.brujulabike.com

Rumours seen on another website/ forum linking Greta Seiwald to Specialized; I must admit I'm not sure what that is all about; her results don't scream 'must sign'.

Mountainbiker Victor Koretzky verlaat B&B Hotels-KTM en tekent bij BORA-hansgrohe

BORA-hansgrohe heeft met Victor Koretzky zijn laatste aanwinst voor volgend jaar binnen. De 28-jarige Fransman, die ook actief is op de mountainbike en in het gravelen, had nog een doorlopend contract bij B&B Hotels-KTM, maar dat ProTeam zit in de problemen. De renners hebben te horen gekregen...

And confirmed; Koreztky to Bora....looks like a good move for him.

Trinity have made some more signings, including a few MTB-ers, including promising French rider Paul Magnier; who has some decent results on MTB & Road.

And as I've said before, the english language MTB media are always slow with news....still nothing on Pinkbike about Koreztky, or Bart's new sponsors.

Fortunately, ESMTB & Brujulabike exist; and are probably the best for news.

I'm not convinced some of those changes were really needed; it's as though the new promoters are trying to put their own mark on the sport. A few tweaks would have sufficed. Live coverage of U23 XCC/XCO, DHI Qualifying, and maybe the final stage of the EWS round.......
Which is now renamed EDR, why? And the new points system - what's that all about?

Instagram post from Sarrou with his new bike 'blanked out'; looked very much like a BMC Four Stroke..... New team to be announced in January.........

Well one would assume it's a return to his former team; to replace Colombo who has signed for the new Q36.5 road team ( though we assume he will ride for Scott-Sram in MTB). There is also a space left at Specialized, plus Marotte is rumoured to be off to Rockrider from Santa-Cruz.

Interesting instagram post from Bec McConnell; even with her recent results she hasn't made it into Cycling Australia's top tier of support. Complete madness - and more proof they care very little for MTB.
