January 1 means contracts are up and announcements will be coming thick and fast in the next few days. First up is Miranda Miller who has announced she will be parting ways with the Specialized Gravity team.
| There’s a time and a place for everything. For me to have not only time, but a place with the Specialized Gravity and the Specialized Enduro Team has been an honour & a privilege.
I found companionship in Finn Iles that created some of my fondest memories to date and an irreplaceable friendship. Loic Bruni remained a hero but became a brother who I love dearly. @lacrete5, Laurent and especially Kev Joly gave themselves entirely to me before they even got to know me. That is something I will always remember and try to pay forward.
My story has often been one told around broken bones, surgeries, crashing and burning and comebacks. But it’s time for a new story, a new time and a new place. Thank-you for having me along!—Miranda Miller |
Miranda joined the team for the 2017 season and rewarded them with a World Championships jersey at Cairns later that year. Although her two year stint with the team was blighted with injuries, she was a consistent top ten rider in World Cups and select EWS races. Keep it tuned to Pinkbike for news on where Miranda heads next.
That'd be rad

I was surprised they didn't drop Jared before his cancer diagnosis. (Now they'd look kind of bad if they dropped a cancer survivor, especially if he comes back to take a win).
Hopefully, she found a great brand who will fit her, her riding goals, and her amazing personality.
