I think jumping brand after signing for another brand is just not right, just as if Trek had dropped Gwin and signed another rider after signing a binding LOC - it just isn't right. It's not a case of big corporate body v individual- it's a case of right v wrong and despite the fact that he's an awesome athlete what he's done here is not ethical or equitable. I'm no more a Fan of Trek than Specialized - that said Specialized are slimier than a very slimey thing ! If he had left at the endof his contract - that's cool - but notthe way he did it.

A**e licking the racer article if you ask me. I try to teach my kids the right thing, for me Gwin hasn't 'done the right thing'....you make a commitment (possibly binding - who knows!) and public declaration of your intention - you stick by it. People are forgetting Gwin was happy to endorse and commit to Trek in August until their offer was trumpted - didn't even give Trek the opportunity to match the deal from what i understand.He commited very publicly to Trek he should have acted with honour.

Here are the facts: 1. Trek and Gwin would not have come out in August with the statements they made if there was not real intent, as Trek would use the Gwin 'contract' to sign up Fox, Shimano etc .Gotta believe Trek on this one. 2. Gwin is meant to be a guy with faith ..too right ...his new god is Mr Green..twat...all that crap he spoused about the Lord...his lord is good ol Abe Lincoln.He's just like the rest of us - but a frickin hypocrit as well ...unless he's going to donate the extra wedge he earns to build a water plant in the 3rd world (no not Canada...England) 3. Specialised are the most hated brand on the market...just one big shrine to greed ...welcome home Aaron'money grabbing, no scruples' Gwin. 4. It would crack me up if Trek signed some guy and whipped the evangelist's ass.
