Bergamont Team News 2016

 just stay away from the drive through... "handup/cheeseburger"

 She can survive anything, she's a tough girl. She went away from that crash with no bruises, I know many guys who would have called their mother with that one

 Congrats...what happened to casey b?

 @metong, she went went to Trek Factory Racing Enduro team

 The wealth and health and ethics divide in SA is obscene! The US raped CA and SA like the Dutch and EU did the Congo and Afrique. This will all come home to roost like the Jihadi plague. The Olympics and FIFA are corrupt as f*ck and do more damage than good. Good luck down there SA brothers and sisters. For real. F*ck that.
Gonna listen to Grito Suburbano by Ohlo Seco banda right now

But yeah, looks like a fun team.

 This thread went from zero to sixty like hella fast

 But look on the bright side, your weather presenters are hot as fuck!

 @endlessblockades sorry need to correct this
the Dutch didn't rape Africa
the Belgiums slaughtered in Congo

@zorba73 even if you are right ... damn right .... it's not gonna help Brazil

 hahaha great spokesman for brazil cheers for the tip on not going there !!! But im just wondering what your rant means to this kick ass team

 @wally333 Wondering also. I mean, we do appreciate that we cannot fully isolate ourselves from political and social concerns regarding major sports events like the Olympics, especially when we as a company would of course profit from the partaking of a sponsored athlete in such an event. Also, the people of Hamburg - our home town - just voted against the city's application for the Olympics because of similar concerns, so we can actually relate to a certain extend. Nevertheless, to connect the social and political issues of Brazil to a press release such as this seems a little far-fetched.

 I like bikes!

 @vhdh666
most of Europe raped Africa at some point, the Dutch included.

 Sorry about my comment. But the situation here on Brazil, "South America", is catastrofic. At the right moment I am righting here, there os a small little fly around my head and I dont know if she bite me I can get Zica vírus or Dengue or Chicunhunha and die. Last year federal government cut in 60% the money they suposed to invest in all this deseases combat. In this first months of 2016 there are more cases of people dieing and geting sick than all 2015 só people estimate that this year all this deseases will kill hundreds of people maybe thousands.
I remember like it was yesterday when XC went to the first olímpica games in Atlanta, at that time I was XC rider and was dreaming about that só disered gold medal. But now days is a fact that FIFA and International Olímpica Comitee are the most corrupted and máfia things of the modern world. 2014 we had in Brazil the FIFA world cup of soccer, that I hate, and tons of soccer stadiums that some stupid ass hole call Arena was built and now they are completely empty and useless, and the cost was much more than it suposed to be.
Look at the Velódromo built for the Panamerican games in 2007 that costed millions of dóllars, Olímpica Comitee said that is useless for the 2016 Olímpic Games just because it has 2 small and thin columns holding the roof and it will "block the vision" of the spectators you know what they did? They dismount the Velodrome, throu it some where and know are building a multimillioner new Velodrome. Notice that Velodrome riding in Brazil is the most rare of the disciplins Abd no one ride single fixed speed bikes since there are only 1 or 3 Velodromes in Brazil.
The amazing XC track built in the most dangerous and Zica flys infested place in Rio will be total destrói after the Games and ther will be no legacy for XC riders on Rio de Janeiro.
The actual Comunista government is know famous around the world for beeing the most corrupted government in human history. Brazil thay hás everything missing like hospital, Police and Schools are now having huge cuts of money só they will be even worst...
I do care about those athlets health and life...
There is no goo side of Olímpic Games like it was in cities like Barcelona, even a new metro line that suposed to be ready for the Games is late, overpriced and will not be ready for the Games.
Brazil was colonized by Europians but the problem is that only Europian criminal and vagabonds was sent to Brazil and thats why Brazil hás this criminal reputation because for Brazilians, crime is normal and natural...
Sorry again to be here complaning about my beautifull shity country. Yes we have the most beautiful womans, florests and beaches in the world but unfortunatly thats all.
Ive been living in Paris, Milan, Hamburg, Munich, Tokio, Miami and Los Angeles and I can say that living in the 3 world is a nightmare for me. Last years I went to Finale Ligure, San Remo and Barcelona and the only thing I think about is haw I can go live in Europe for work legaly.
Last year I tried a Visa for Canadá just to make my biggest dream of my life come true that is riding DH in Whistler and even with money on my acount that I can do 100 trips to Whistler and not having any criminal records my Visa was dinied, why? Because for the world any Brazilian is a criminal, a drug dealer or a prostitite manager...
One thing I can say, dont come to Brazil, only if you want to get stabednon the belly or gun shot, or if you want to be stolen somewhere somehow. Abd know your life is in RISC because a fly thay can kill anytime!!!

 @vhdh666 no worries I was half in the bag and got confused thinking of Royal Dutch Shell's exploits in Africa....Sorry Bergamont I just found it refreshing to hear a perspective from Brasil that's a little more.....real (albeit, bitter)

 The beach is in perfect conditions. www.google.com.br/search?q=rato+morto+na+praia+de+sao+conrado&prmd=inv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj71p7pofPKAhUHS5AKHVmVBPoQ_AUIBygB&biw=360&bih=512#tbm=isch&q=salvemos+s%C3%A3o+conrado&imgrc=ZLKPPYcKxyeqoM%3A

 Who cares, the Olympics are a joke. No country that's at war is supposed to take part in these games, well guess what, there'd be nobody left to compete, hence, the Olympic idea is as dead as 26" wheels.

 Hayes Performance Systems is the parent company of which Hayes (the brake manufacturer) is one part. In fact Hayes provides the team's suspension (Manitou), wheels (Sun Ringlé) and parts like stems, handlebars, etc. (Answer) plus, of course, contributing a big chunk of what it takes to set up and maintain an international team in the first place. Good point you brought this up though, as this is exactly why Hayes has been stepping up and getting more involved in the sport. Needless to say that we are very happy to go into our second year with them as naming sponsors.

 Thank you for this update! I actually doesn't know that! But I'm happy for you guys and the whole Team! I wish you all the best and good luck for the upcoming season

 XCO = man camel, man camel = XCO. There is no escaping it.

 I came here waiting the awful super german pictures and i was so happy I dodged. But then that happened

 Interested in this too. Guy is smoking fast

 Terribly sorry for that, our senior helmet strap manager called in sick on a very short notice. We will have a word with him once he has fully recovered.

 Bergamont; Maybe you could instigate a fully independent inquiry as this is easily in the top 1million mtb issues this week.

 Getting negative results with my favorite internet search engine when looking to connect with the executive helmet strap committee at UCI to aquire definitive strap-tensioning directives. Now decided to also have R&D look into the matter for technical advice.

 I think 10kN is a good starting point, maybe introduce load cells?
Thank you for taking this issue seriously.

Congrats Morgane!

 @BergamontBicycles You guys kick ass!

 Eddie must be rubbing off on the web guys at Bergamont.

 @bknofx Think load cells, lab coats, notepads, many graphs and serious experts looking important - we are a German company after all.

@therealtylerdurden Well, the senior helmet strap manager will surly get his share of kicking in this case. #strapgate

@dv81 A lot of rubbing always going on in every direction.

 I was told he was staying with bergamont. Maybe not then.
