I agree with this. Clearly the FW bike isn’t holding him back, and the team environment seems great for him based on what we see. I think a lot of FW team sponsors would rather pony up more $$ supporting FW than see Asa leave to Specialized Gravity in particular as I don’t believe they share any team sponsors.

I hate to be that guy but I can't possibly see how frameworks could pay Asa enough to stay.

Only if it's Nina's choice. I don't think they'd let her go for a bad season.

Team Rumors?

Half speculating and half vague memories: the contract is signed a month or so beforehand, but the helmet handover event is a surprise. The timing is key, and bullseye perfect here: Aletha has the overall wrapped, A-Aron hands over the helmet before qualies at the last race on home soil. Chef’s kiss. 😘 👌🏻

Just bumped into Danny Hart in a full discreet kit on a Frameworks!

Tech rumors is getting crazy for 2026.

Sharpie demand is about to pop off

Glad you're enjoying the pre and post-race stuff, I enjoy doing it!

Thanks for all the pre race and post race content. Along with Wyn TV it adds and extra layer of entertainment to the race week

Keep your eyes peeled on Monday and you might see a fresh Loic Bruni interview.

IIRC chainstays are normally the same length, they just move the main pivot backwards on the front triangle to increase the CS length.

Or a horizontally mounted Mass Tuned Damper. Reduce lateral vibrations and add weight down low. Win win.

Stop using AI for frivolous shit.

On the Downtime Podcast, Chris Hall, Neko Mulally, and Olly Morris were speculating that Specialized can give just that little extra support. They only have so much budget to allocate, and when Loic is on the box every week, it makes sense to try and keep him there. Also, Jordan and Finn have both independently said that their mentality just sort of clicked this year. Finn finally got a strong training offseason this year after chronic pain in years previous. He then got the confidence to know he could do it. Jordan said he had some mental struggles previously, even...

Looks like that rider is also running the unreleased Maxxis DHX tire too.

"Nobody lifts a finger." is a bit of an overstatement. Plenty of people who were there did what they could, which wasn't much since they had other jobs to do and he wasn't gushing blood. They told him it sit down and called the ambulance. He kept standing and waited. Were they supposed to shut down practice and kiss it and make it better? He didn't seem to have any complaints about how it was handled.

Yup. Credit where credits due. He’s done a great job improving.

Now that the commentary has been decent for two races I'm ready to complain about stream accessibility again

It does. They have 9-45t cassettes already.
