chris k is still riding for intense, but not the main team due to not being able to get into canada or something, i;d be susprised to see brendon quit down hill, but after whats happened to him at honda he may have just lost faith in the sport, he got signed to basically the biggest team in DH with all these prospects only for them to just drop the team and walk away!

is there still not firm news on greg minnar?

I thought the whole thing about Brendan Fairclough was that he signed for 23 Degrees management company. 

Honda have left the scene, but surely Brendan and Minaar would still have their contracts with 23 Degrees and it would be down to them to find a new bike sponsor for the both

I dont think it's going tits up, just more changes this year, and although some big teams have ceased, other teams have entered the arena - Lapierre-Subaru, Trek, Diamondback, etc.

It probably is just you.

People retire/get bored/want to start a family.

It isn't the end of the world... it just means other names become more prominent.

There is no right answer... he rode for HRC signed through 23Degrees....

"Brendan was a 23 Degrees rider while Greg and Matti were HRC in effect (though still signed through our company), so we always planned Brendan would replace Matti and we maintain a two rider team"

Q-Bikes SAAB Salomon are no more, but the current rumour is that SAAB Salomon will continue with another French bike company...

Mick Pascal might also be back on Maxxis.

Thanks for that mate, but seeing as the official press release is dated the 22nd of September, I think you are a little too late...
