It's official,
Rick Thorne has left Hoffman Bikes. The reason for the departure is unknown and currently Rick does not have a new bike sponsor. Rick is just one of several high-profile pros to leave Hoffman Bikes in the last couple of years. It's a list that includes Mike Escamilla who left to ride for Volume in 2001.
Where Thorne goes from here is not known, but we'll let you know when we hear more on the subject.
