he was riding a turner i think. dont know if it was a factory team or turner being a co sponsor

He is 19. so he Yeti could be his first big sponsor.

Gravity Group /// Turner Frames and FOX Suspension

i am pretty sure he rode for wide open imports which is the new zealand turner importer

his win at Schaldming this year was probably one of the most inspiring moments of biking in my life.

Bets in..... Turner once more?

Hmmm, possibly. Difficult to know where else he could go...

I've got really mixed feelings about him switching teams.
I think this could go both ways.
he could really progress under the support of another company,
or
maybe he needed to give it time with Yeti.
either way I know that I'll always love Blinky and I think we're gonna see him up on the podium very frequently in the next few seasons.

Yeah, I would love to know what team he has gone to. A great signing by that team anyway, apparently all the tracks next year are going to be super technical like Schladming, so he could easily get a few podiums

There is talk he may be going to Giant,Trek,even Morewood. Maybe he might follow the steps of Justin Leov (a former yeti factory rider, now riding for trek) to the trek team.
