Welcome to the Pink Bike podcast. We're back from some field testing out in Arkansas. We did not have a podcast last week. I'm sorry, but we were very busy riding all the bikes. And we're back now, though. It's almost time for Rampage. World Cup season wrapped up. So exciting things to talk about. But mostly Dario and Matt and I have been trying to recover and get back into home time, I think. We haven't really had a how to break yet. It's a lot of actually we do. You do work sometimes, it turns out. It's not just riding and goofing off. So yeah, our brains might be a little scrambled, but I think we'll be all right for talking on a podcast. Yeah. I'm a climatized. Yeah, back.

That's what I wondered as well. But yeah, Colb seems like a great buy. He's, he's crushing it.

And I don't want to take away anything from his past teams, but it seems like Santa Cruz is

really dialed in their race etiquette and performance products.

So like I would be really interested to see where he can go with, you know,

the help of PD and everybody else on that crew.

Yeah, that's cool to see him pick up.

But most teams, teams don't get announced this early.

It's usually a couple months of rumors, but because YT basically dissolved, then they

announced it right away after

that race basically during the race almost so yeah true it's gonna be a different team rumors season i

think like we'll see some riders announced their teams earlier but uh plenty of people starting to
