Mark Wallace stays planted over the dust and roots for 5th on the day

The Canyon CLLCTV has announced another big departure for 2023 as Mark Wallace will be leaving the factory DH team after six years.


bigquotesRider, athlete, teammate, friend – after 6 amazing years it´s time for us to say "THANK YOU, SHARKY".

Thank you for the incredible team support.
Thank you for your enthusiasm on and off the bike.
Thank you for the good times.
And last but definitely not least: thank you for the nice human being that you are.

We are really grateful for the time that we were able to share with you on the Canyon CLLCTV Downhill Team and all the positive memories.

For your personal and professional future, the whole Canyon crew wishes you nothing but the best.

Take care & we are already looking forward to seeing you again soon – out there on the trails or in the pits of the upcoming Downhill World Cup season.
Canyon

We don't know where Mark will be ending up next year just yet, but we'll keep you updated when we learn more.

 Jesse on Canyon so a small man can ride a long bike. Jack goes to ironhorse brings back the size medium 26" sunday with a dropper post and wins the title by 900 minutes.

 Melamed is a Fox rider through and through. Canyon is running SRAM. No way he'd switch.

 @Zozordan: Yeah, actually. I never clued in on that weirdness, since Moir is EWS and Mark is WCDH. You don't hear both nicknames in the same broadcast/video.
