Danny Hart leaving Saracen at the end of the season . He’s pretty much a shore thing for a team looking for podiums but I’d imagine he’d be one of the higher payed riders . Back at giant maybe .

Bit of a weird one that i have to say.... More because it sounds like their choice, not his...

I think anything will be better for him !

I suppose for 1 Danny Hart you can get a top young female racer , a junior and a new assistant manager .

I listened to a few podcast interviews with Danny over lockdown and he seemed pretty happy with the whole setup .

Saracen seemed an odd choice for a top rider, tbh. Not really a big brand even in the UK, never mind outside it.

I guess that Saracen haven't got a massive budget and they've also got Matt Walker who can mix it with the top boys. Maybe they just can't afford him?*

*Based on complete made up conjecture!

It's not unusual for riders to move on after three years, whether it's their choice or changing budgets or priorities for teams.

Where will he go?

YT are the obvious candidate IMO, big brand with a big interest in DH and they've got a great rider in David Trummer - but he's still establishing himself.

YT? I heard they were after a certain British rider to join them next year but they (the rider) decided to stick with their current team so maybe there’s an opening for Danny there.

I dunno if there's a load of juicy opportunities, even for someone of Hart's pedigree, in covidworld. Massive uncertainty for the 2021 season. Although you're getting a top 5 pretty consistent rider who is exciting to watch

Did he leave Giant in similar circumstances i.e pushed most probably cos of budget constraints? I got the impression Giant were withdrawing their DH interests a bit, as Gutierrez became their number one so it seemed they were downsizing

Last sexy bike he rode IMHO was the chrome Lapierre DH720 remember that? Actually no the Summun is a nice bike too

Intense?
Atherton Bikes?

The big teams would appear to have strong lineups and couldn’t see him with trek/spesh/santacruz

Can’t see him at Intense unless Gwin is moving on.

Maybe Peaty will pull some strings and take him in at the Syndicate.

Syndicate is arguably the strongest 3 rider line up. But is possible if he replaces Minnaar as the teams veteran. But I don't think that's going to happen just yet. Although I don't know what I'm talking about

I've got to assume that's a cost saving measure, Veronika Widmann isn't going to be on nearly the same sort of money as a double World Champ.

I'm sure he'll have options, but I do wonder these days if Results are enough, he's got the speed but he's not exactly box office gold.

Maybe Atherton Bikes will try to get him, Gee is a bit of a spent force and Rachel doesn't half look like someone toying with retirement.

Syndicate

I'd be amazed frankly, but I'm usually wrong about this sort of thing.

I don't see Danny being part of the 'Syndicate Family' and all that, I get the impression he likes his own company.

‘Danny Hart wins races. Danny Hart sells bikes. He’s the people’s champion and he’s a big part of why Saracen has taken over from Orange as the most popular bike on the UK race scene. He’d be a great fit on the Santa Cruz Syndicate. They have a history of having multiple riders who can win races and I think it might be contract time there as wellImagine how many Megatowers he’d sell…’ - George Thompson

That's going to be really tough. It was hard to see where Saracen got their money back in sales, which is I guess why it became more Madison-focussed.

I can't really guess, but I don't see Canyon/Santa Cruz/Commencal/Trek/Spesh/Mondraker/Pivot changing things unless someone is wanting out.

So maybe:
Cube
Giant (unless bridges were burnt)
Hope (can't see them having the money)
Norco - if they want to step things up in the UK especially - maybe ride the wave of good reviews
SRAM TLD (he currently rides for Fox, so maybe not)

Lots of other companies specifically stated that they wanted to nurture young talent rather than spend big on established names, so it's not going to be easy for him.

+1

Terrible fit for the Syndicate and they don't tend to chop and change riders anyway.

And can you really see him working for the Athertons? Really?

I don't know about that, he has a pretty high profile with things like his association with Hamsterley and his 2011 WC win , which cut through to the non MTB world like nothing else, thanks in no small part to the commentary

Just checked his YouTube channel and his Snowshoe helmet cam has 13million views

Super stylish and loose riding style

Only downside is he has a thick NE accent and no pithy one liners.

I guess he could do a bit more Phil Atwill style short edits just jibbing around but he's too focussed on winning

Imagine how many Megatowers he’d sell…

This might be a bit of a "if you haven't got anything nice to say" statement, but...

Firstly - in which race scene ever is Saracen the most popular bike?

Secondly, when was Orange the most popular? Maybe when Peaty was riding & winning for them there was relatively quite a lot around, but most popular, really??

As others alluded to, of all places, i'd be gobsmacked if he ended up on the Syndicate. Whilst results wise it would work, he's not exactly Mr Dynamic, in fact i'd struggle to think of anyone less likely to fit, personality wise.

I don't think Santa Cruz needs any help selling Megatowers.

i think he`ll set up his own thing.

he seems to do things very much his own way. while he won on the saracen i bet he's eyeing up the new commencals thinking he could go faster on one of them (or similar)

Thinking a bit more, he might have to set something up himself.
Persuade Monster to go in a bit bigger, involve Hamsterley, Kawasaki, Maxxis, Fox, etc

Dunno - I wonder if he knows of a new prospect from Hamsterley that could be a good signing. God knows what frame manufacturer would get involved.

Not much room for him anywhere sadly. We love him because hes British and has balls as big as spacehoppers (wet DH win some time ago, where Rob Warner went overdrive).

But he wont work globally, isnt young and is expensive.

Brands need worldwide social media and see the future in young riders appealing to an target who will buy the product.

Second-tier brands like Cube and Norco are good suggestions.

Perhaps Scott as well. They have a strong team as it is (and Brendan won't be cheap), but while Dean Lucas is one of my favourite riders - he's an outside bet for a win.

Uncomfortable but true I think.

Danny is an amazing rider, seems to be totally focused about standing on the podium and does so regularly.

His YouTube content is amazing, if you like 8 mins of flat out head cam. Unfortunately I think the image and quiet calm, northern England lad just doesn't sell as many bikes as others do, particularly outside the UK.

my choice too.

British (CRC) but with international associations, cant think off the top of my heaad who (if anyone) is riding DH for them atm, but they have a new bike out?

Nukeproof seem to be doing well (good bikes, selling as fast as they can make them). Built around Sam Hill in Enduro and Danny in DH could actually challenge commencal for domination of the gravity events.

His YouTube content is amazing, if you like 8 mins of flat out head cam. Unfortunately I think the image and quiet calm, northern England lad just doesn’t sell as many bikes as others do, particularly outside the UK.

I love this, but maybe not the target market. Every jibbing scralping edit just makes me think about wasted talent that could be between the tapes. Bryceland and Fairclough long term offenders, but many are doing it now.

Whilst he is definitely still capable of winning races I wonder if teams would rather invest in a couple of young racers who are on their way up than pay someone like Hart big money and have all their eggs in one basket on someone battling to get back to the top , kind of like the Trek team . I’m sure he won’t have trouble finding a team or enough sponsors to do his own thing but I don’t see him ending up at one of the more high profile teams .

I had dismissed Nukeproof as being too invested in Sam Hill - financially and logisticially - but it's a good point that CRC have pretty deep pockets and could even put Danny on a frame deal and let him pull together his other sponsors and organise his travel etc. himself.

And he's a great fit for the brand image.

This is going to come across quite hard, and I appreciate it's a taste thing, but he comes to me as sullen and withdrawn. He's an amazing rider fo'shure, but his public image is one of not being able to talk to the press (in this he's not the only DH rider, I'm amazed still that they don't seem to engage in any media training at all*)

Totally wrong for the Syndicate,I think he'll go it alone...

*I get that we don't want cookie-cutter athletes, but Danny just seems so reserved as to be damn near mono-syllabic in most interviews.

Hasn’t his dad always been one of the more ‘challenging’ parts of having Danny on a team? Seems to crop up as an issue pretty regularly.

That's embarrassing. His Dad has always been an absolute loaded weapon, I think that's common knowledge. I'm from that part of the world and I've witnessed him in action a few times.

Danny started to come out of his shell a bit when he stopped hanging around with his old man so much. He's obviously not a natural in front of the cameras but people used to say the same about Sam Hill.

He's one of the most exciting racers we've ever seen and I wish him the best.

I think there is an issue that if you know you're getting a full seasons racing then Danny is a good bet for a hefty contract. He's a racer and his footage from comps and results stands up to comparison with pretty much anyone, but he's quiet and just gets on with things. Without races there are other people out there that cross over more (short edits of jumps, jibs, trail riding) and can generate other content and that is likely to be more beneficial next year where it's highly likely you won't see a full race season.

My 1st thought was something like a Nukeproof link up with the new Dissector being released and they seem to be quite focussed on racing results.

Hugely talented rider just not a good salesman, which as a racer is actually what you’re being paid to do.
Hastily deleted riding videos of him and the missus on a campervan trip in the middle of lockdown restrictions can’t really have him any favours either.

I think Danny has a bigger social media profile than a fair chunk of world cup racers . Certainly more than Matt walker who they've kept . On a race results perspective you could argue that Matt walker is a better investment for the next few years than Danny .

I do hope I’m wrong but I do wonder if there will be a reduction in the number of teams and spaces for top riders. With COVID and the relatively small numbers of dh bikes that get sold I do wonder if all the big brands will want to continue to invest at the same levels inthe future

Yeah, it's clearly a personality clash thing.

He's known to be a bit spiky and I'm sure I've heard comments about Saracen from elsewhere before. Perhaps just not the best fit in the end.

Even if he is a bit full of himself, he's still a delight to watch when he's going full pelt.

The Credit Crunch was horrific for Downhill, Honda pulled out, Iron Horse went bust, Bike Radar pulled out etc etc etc. Lots of top riders found themselves looking for a new employers almost overnight.

I don't think Covid will be the same though, the Bike Industry has boomed through this, and I don't think there are many people in the business of Downhill to sell downhill bikes, it's the F1 of Mountain Biking, it's a test bed for new technology and marketing through brand awareness.

DH's biggest asset though might be the fact Endruo is so hard to make a TV spectacle of.

I'm sure if he just wanted a frame sponsor they'd be able to help him, but they haven't had a DH team for years, Hart deserves a 'factory' team.

To the extent how he evaded a massive punch up at a BDS years ago was a miracle.

Correct me if I'm remembering this wrong but didn't he celebrate Danny's WC win by tying a giant flag to the front of their house in Redcar announcing 'Danny Hart downhill world champion' etc... Then they were promptly burglarized and all of Danny's MTB's and motocross bikes were swiped.

He's quite clearly not a bright spark. I haven't seen him for years but the last time was at a local race where we was crawling all over the ground with about 5 grand worth of Canon gear trying to get shots and shouting at anyone whose legs got in the way.

When he was on Mondraker every other bike at Hamsterley was a Mondraker and you'd still see plenty of Giant Glorys knocking about as well.

Successful DH riders are always indebted to their parents, by definition

The parents become invested and entitled to share in the success, pretty soon they're obsessive monsters and cut the brake cables of rivals at the top of the hill, allegedly

From what I'm reading on Pinkbike (well known as a place of knowledge and levelheadedness) Hart has been travelling separately and using his own team for a while, that's not to say he's not set-up in their pit, but it doesn't sound like they're all one big happy family at the moment.

Having just read the actual press release, no matter what has gone on behind the scenes, that’s a pretty sad way to part with your main rider that’s won at least one WC and a load of podiums on your bikes.
Danny Hart being released was literally a few lines at the bottom of the announcement of them signing 2 new riders and an assistant.
It’ll be interesting to see what comes out once these races are done and dusted.

Yeah, I remembered hearing criticism of the management and atmosphere at Saracen, and it's obvious that Danny and his dad can be difficult.

Naive to try to put the blame for a falling out all on one side. Let's just enjoy the public beef shall we?

WHen he moved to Saracen I thought it'd be the part of a big brand push to really get them into the mainstream eye. That didn't really seem to happen, or maybe it did and failed- a bunch of very nice saracens ended up on ebay or in shops on massive discounts over the period too, like maybe they'd just overshot demand or something.

"Imagine how many Megatowers he’d sell"

Eh, he's about 5'7 and he rides a medium ariel, so maybe not that many 🙂 (his bio says 5'9, I doubt that very much, he's a fair bit smaller than me and I'm bang on 5'10)

TBH I can't see him on Santa Cruz. Not that he's not good enough, or not isible enough, or not got the profile, or any of that, it's just they're always quite glamorous and outgoing and filling the room with personality. Like, Peat and Minaar, you knew when they were within half a mile of you. Danny can sit in an uplift bus and nobody'd notice except that every piece of gear he owns has his name on it, he's not that sort of BRAH! FIST BUMP! WOOOOOOOOO and thank god, we've got more than enough of that.

Love how everyone seems to be defending saracen, even though we have no idea what's gone on. Maybe Danny's dad has a point, and saracen are a bunch of ****s.

Or maybe it's a bit of both, and they just don't get on very well....

Everything I've heard about Danny is that he's a decent bloke.

That insta post has a full on ‘pub car park fight’ vibe now, Danny’s Mrs is involved, lots of posters taking about (dis)respect. Fairly clear they’ve all had the same brief...

Looks like a clash of ego’s from both camps, (though not necessarily Danny himself) with one side thinking they are bigger than the other.

As Tom said, Saracen are taking a pasting on their Insta post. Nobody is defending them.

And it seems they've deleted his dad's comments (which is not necessarily a mistake).

Thought about posting "Ur PR iz Saracin", but I'm not sure they'd get it.

The problem for Madison Saracen is that this has now completely overshadowed the announcement of the new riders on the team. Surely you’d do 2 separate press releases one saying thanks, goodbye and all the best to Danny then another one welcoming the new team members.

Every time I watch the top level DH racers, I can't help thinking how good they'd be on a motorbike.

Still showing for me.

I've done a bit of work in crisis management on social media.

This would be a tough one as the initial press release was ill-conceived and could be read as a bit passive aggressive once Hart Sr had pitched in.

But they can hardly answer his criticisms publicly now, so probably best to hunker down and let it blow over. Not the textbook approach at all, but a "teachable moment" for the future, as they say.

Maybe Insta on desktop's shoddy UX.

And I think some of them are, aren't they? I've seen photos of Bruni looking not too shabby on a motorbike, and Fabien Barel has done some national champs in France, I think. And not just DH racers - Julien Absalon is pretty handy on a motorbike, by all accounts (I think he started on motorbikes and stopped mainly because he was a bit full gas on them and injured or was scared of injuring himself).

Struggling to see much wrong with the original press release to be honest, I'd have happily signed off on it. Perhaps "chosen not to renew contract" was a bit ill judged versus "will be moving on", but not knowing the whole story you have no idea what input Danny may have had, it's possible that there was something in their agreement that meant Saracen were obliged to make it clear it was their decision and not his?

People move teams all the time, it's relatively rare it's done with much more than a thanks for everything type mention in a press release and this is no different. It's only been made an issue by Paul Hart wading into it.

Agree best just keep their heads down and let it blow over, nobody apart from Paul Hart will give a sh*t about it in a few weeks time.

Does feel like they were trying to 'get out in front' of Danny announcing he was off somewhere else. No doubt the Mum and Dad ranting would have been forthcoming even if they'd kept schtum until the end of the season.

Sums up my thoughts. I know that the Danny Hart supporters are a loyal bunch, but the reactions seems OTT, he's a rider out of contract, who knows (or cares really) what the backstory his. Hart will either set up something himself or get busy negotiating with a new team. Normally this would've been the off season, it's bad timing at worst, but if he's out of contract, what else can you do?
