Tomas Lemoine Parts Ways With Sponsor Of The Last Nine Years
Freerider, slopestyler, rapper, and all around shredder Tomas Lemoine announced on December 15th that he will be parting ways with his sponsor of nearly a decade, Canyon Bikes.
Take a look at his announcement below.
"I’m so thankful for the experience, the lovely and passionate people I’ve met and work with, all the madness this life brings and how I could be myself, be accepted - and pushed up with an amazing support along the way." - Tomas Lemoine via Instagram
Tomas also announced his retirement from competitive slopestyle this year so it will be interesting to see what brand he lands on, especially amidst all of the unprecedented team cuts that have happened this year.
Purely speculation here, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Tomas do what fellow freeriders Adolf Silva, Brett Rheeder, and Lew Buchanan have done in the past which is to float around and try different frames - or in Rheeder's case, suspension - for a little while until he lands on something he likes.
It is also worth noting that while Lemoine has retired from competitive slopestyle, he is still going to be active in the freeride sphere. He is slated to be at the inaugural Red Bull Hardline Maydena spin-off that is going down in the middle of February.
It's unlikely we'll see the Frenchman on a new frame by then, but it'd be fun to speculate on what he might show up with.
