I just converted that amount into Aussie Dollarydoo's.

WTF! That is absurd.

Not going to deny any rider out there chasing down what they think their worth, but that figures (if it’s true) are pretty wild. 

someone like Martin Whitley could probably workout what all the riders are worth financially in terms of results/brand endorsement.

This sport lacks clarity when it comes to money and contracts. 

250k is fantasy league money.. and even if it’s split between the two of them it’s still crazy money. 

was that 250k a proposed budget for they to set up their own team?

Pretty sure that's a rental ebike. I wouldn't read too much into it.

High five for “Joins ways” on that article title. That made me laugh.

Yep, a rental bike in Rotorua's Redwoods Forest.

Really interested to see how juinor mens world cup dh plays out next year, originally would have just been thinking it to be primarily dominated by asa but with Tyler waite from nz riding the yeti dh bike and presumably getting support from yeti at world cups next year, we might have another goldstone vs williams situation

It's probably not even a two horse race amongst the first year juniors next season. There are a few euros coming up through the ranks, notably the Alran brothers, one of whom will be riding for Commencal Muc-Off.

The new upcoming juniors should be fast, but dont forget about Chris Hauser and some other second years who are not going to just roll over for the new talent,

250.000K for funding a full season seems pretty reasonable to me. From food, to flight tickets, hotels, stuff and UCI team registering. To be honest, I think that is quite reasonable. And if it is for 2 people it might not be enough. If you calculaze out the taxes at an average of 18% you can only spend 210000. And you have to pay for health insurance, salary and taxes on income. And you should not forget that a professional needs to make more money as a normal working person because there is no regular carreer pat and you normaly need to start a regular job after the cycling at the age of around 35 when you have had a seriously long career.

 

But it would be interesting to know 1. if the amount is true 2. what it is for 3. what the salary really is in the NET version.

From the (MS-)man hinself:

"... it's just a split with mondraker that's official, but probably we're not done racing yet...would be possible without us, but not as much fun"

Dean Lucas on MUTN also saying Charlie Harrison to Frameworks (altho he prefaces by saying he has no inside info...)

Dunno why, completely unconfirmed, but I have a feeling/hope that MS will be on Zerode in 2024.

Kiwi bike, high pivot gearbox.

This comes from Sven who showed it on his instagram story weeks ago saying team rumours

Sorry, it certainly wasn't my intention to ignore the second year juniors, that would have been plain rude. Still, I understand why US race fans are getting excited about Asa, it's going to be interesting that's for sure.

  Mylann Falquet and Lucas Lagneau alongside Hauser should still be figuring amongst the top finishers. They're only going to get faster and I'm sure sure that we'll be seeing a few vastly improve after having a first season of international racing under their belts. That first year can't be replicated as a learning experience.

Wow. I thought that was who Dunne would be riding for next year and I wonder where Suarez will end up? Questions, questions.

Hmm people were thinking that Suarez was the one who was going to Frameworks.  Maybe that's true?

I'm putting my money on Charlie Harrison joining FrameWorks.  Asa,  Neko, Charlie sounds like a pretty awesome lineup!

Either way, Nekos done an impressive job with promotion and sponsorship, since 100 bikes haven’t even yet been sold. But somehow he’s pulling in a million dollars to run three riders on the WC circuit. 
Three riders, probably two mechanics, paying Martin Whiteley, travel, salary, taxes - surely this venture requires a cool mil.

I don’t think bike sales had anything to do with his team budget. I bet that was settled long before they confirmed they would actually sell a run of bikes this year. He puts out great content and has a lot of eyes on his project, that’s worth a lot to his sponsors.

Neko is like the guy that had the vision quest, and the quest turned prophetic.

Amazing that being open and honest, showing passion and hard work culminate in success.

However this team turns out, how couldn't you root for frameworks?  At a time when companies are closing doors and shutting down support, Frameworks is growing.
