"Frameworks Racing is one of the most interesting teams in professional sport right now. From its management to its sponsors to the growing talent on its athlete roster, they are certainly ones to keep an eye on going into 2026. With a pretty phenomenal season in 2025, the rising talent of Asa Vermette made waves with his final season racing UCI Downhill as a Junior, but also proved he's ready for the Elites with his performances outside the UCIcalendar."
"Anna Newkirk, the 2024 USA National Champion, claimed 2nd at Leogang, as well as a few top 10s throughout the 2025 UCI DH season, and a 1st at the Monster Energy Pro DH at Rock Creek. Led and founded by Neko Mullaley, a legend in the sport who not only manages the Frameworks team, but also pins a number when he can, and has a few races on the calendar throughout 2025 - something not many team managers can claim these days."
Frameworks Racing built momentum in 2025 through experienced management, sponsor support, and rising rider talent. Asa Vermette had a standout final junior UCI Downhill season and proved competitive against elite riders outside the UCIcalendar, positioning him for Elite ranks in 2026. Anna Newkirk, 2024 USA National Champion, earned multiple podiums, including second at Leogang and a win at the Monster Energy Pro DH at Rock Creek. Angel Suarez Alonso sustained a cracked rib early, struggled all season, and parted ways with the team after two years. Neko Mullaley founded and managed the team while remaining active in select races; the team projects further growth into 2026.
