JB doesn't own all of the shares of Trek, a few others own also a fair share. Even Lance has his till today. And indeed lets see what either Quana or Dutech is going to buy in the next few weeks.... interesting times

indeed and also Dutech is still in the picture, led by Fierkens. Previously was at Specialized, CSG (Cannondale) and BCF (Ridley). Quanta wants to take it all, Dutech wants to cherry pick.
