Looks a lot like a Santa Cruz Blur. Considering both brands are owned by PON group, it could be a resprayed blur for Jumbo riders.

Possibly, given its Fem riding more likely a Juliana Wilder, possible that Cervelo take on the xc bikes from Santa Cruz, would be more on brand?

Pinkbike did a video of a prototype of this and the new hardtail a long time ago, but the video was taken down very fast. The FS bike was alot like the Blur but there where some small differences. Ex, I think the Cervelo had cable routing through the headset.

I suspect that rigid link won't do the frame much good but if you are a pro a crack or two is less of an issue :)

I don't think there's much that the Nove Mesto short track course can throw at a solid link that would hold a candle to how hard you can bottom out a shock in the course of 'normal' riding.

Forgive my limited knowledge but how does it work? I'm guessing the carbon bends.

XC rules: you have to use the same frame for XCO as you use for the Short Track. They are removing the shock for the Short Track and replacing it for the XCO to stay within the rules, but still run a hardtail equivalent in the Short Track.
