If the athertons are moving it will be to a team that have a solid all-mountain/enduro bike for dan to race aswell as a good dh bike for gee and rach, as theres no chance he'll be back on the dh circuit next year, and they'll also have to have enough money to support brand atherton, as it isnt just them racing, its a team manager, 2 mechanics, a guy for physio and a proper doctor amongst other people helping out. so really its down to trek, gt, spesh or commencal, as there the only companys with the budget and bikes.
As for brendog, scott 11 all the way, they're a very big company in europe, have a decent team as it is, with florian being on the podium most races, they're just missing a top male up on the podium, they already have a wc team so adding another guy isnt gonna damage the bank too much, and having someone like him on the team is gonna sell shit-loads of gamblers/voltages, so theres gonna be a nice bonus in it for him come the end of the season.
No surprise really, it was only a matter of time before he wanted to be the top guy on a team, first below minnar, and then hill. And funilly enough i can see him going to scott, european based team, as apposed to being so far away from the monster specialized team.
He did a suicide over the road gap aswell, in an interview earlier in the season, he admitted that if he was off the pace he didnt give a shit so was more than happy to go throwing no-handers and some tables down mid-run just to entertain the fans! He is one of the only proper superstars to come from our sport!
