That and the fact he's managed by Martin Whitely and probably didn't have many other options, Frameworks was his best option. If he does well this year maybe he'll get better offers.

Also, update on #frecklegate. He's playing hard to get.

Regarding the Frameworks salaries... As has been said here earlier I think, Neko said that Unno paid Angel's contact for this year so they got him for super cheap. Maybe $25k salary + his travel/bike expenses paid. Neko is likely taking a very minimal salary, Martin is probably discounting himself, but I can't see him doing it for less than $75k/yr. The mechanics are not big name mechanics and they're working part of the year so probably $40k each X2. Asa is the wildcard... In the past juniors would be getting paid nothing... but he's going to likely be winning...

This deserves its own thread, but unless you are looking at the contract first hand, take everything with a grain of salt. I've negotiated on behalf of a handful of professional athletes in adjacent sports as an "agent" (LOL) and I've also watched people flat lie about what they were making to feel better about themselves. I get it. Its a topic riddled with insecurity. While I'd wager there are more athletes making $100-200K+ than most think (I'm including influencer types and freeriders in this), its a terrible career choice in every sense of the word "choice". If I was...

was just sent this by rogue racing TM, not sure if old news. rogue and GT this year

Based on personal experience I would say you are underestimating what the top 20 riders make by quite a bit. I dont think it is as bad out there as people think. Just based on personal experience and very close relationships.

Oli Davis Spotted on a pretty trick looking Commencal over the weekend.

Wait til Dak signs for Gwin’s new Yeti team. 🤣🤣🤣 #screwfrecklegate

Bulldog can't fool me. ENHANCE

thanks! in 2024 news, can i just say that i can't wait to see amaury on the track again? assuming he's healthy, he's going to mix up everything 2023 was about : )

Jackson vs Amaury vs Bruni vs Finn vs the pack of wild dogs nipping at all their heals is going to be glorious in '24. Now only if there was a reasonable to actually watch it.

holy crap, you've all made this year's rumor season so freaking fun and hilarious. was hard to believe #cappucinoMachineGate could be topped but now #frecklegate has set a new bar. i'd be kinda scared if i was an athlete making team switches next year LOL

To be fair, he doesn't even know haha It's now Monday, so I guess the announcemnt wasn't today. Stay tuned for tomorrow...

The other site just posted ALN and Elliot Jamison signed with Commencal x 7Mesh. Excellent sleuthing.
