Biggest Brit team moves for 2022
RACING BRIEFS NEW YEAR NEW GEAR

Every year we look forward to seeing if our favourite riders will renew their contracts or head to pastures new. It's always exciting to see how familiar faces will fare on different teams equipped with new bikes and gear. Here are six of the biggest team changes by UK riders for the coming season...

1 JOE BARNES

Scottish shredder Joe and his Hazzard Racing teammate Fergus Lamb (of Dudes of Hazzard fame/infamy) will be racing on Hope Technology's boutique HB-series bikes in this season's EWS including the prototype HB916 enduro bike after three years with fellow British brand Orange. The bikes may be sleeker-looking, but we expect the lads' rut-slapping antics, videos and facial hair to remain decidedly lo-fi.
