Crestline Speed Shop has announced its 2026 racing team, a group of elite athletes who will compete in the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series and the Monster Pro Downhill Series across the United States. The team's lineup includes Frida Rønning, Alden Pate, Bode Burke, and Gavin Tomlinson, each bringing their unique skills and expertise to the track.
A Star-Studded Lineup
The team's elite women's rider, Frida Rønning, is a force to be reckoned with. Her talent and determination have earned her a spot among the top athletes in the sport. Alden Pate, Bode Burke, and Gavin Tomlinson, the elite men's riders, are also no strangers to success. Their impressive records and dedication to the sport make them a formidable team.
Behind the Scenes
Crestline Speed Shop's commitment to the future of the sport extends beyond its riders. The team is supported by a dedicated team manager, Mike Tomlinson, and mechanic, Trevor Mejia, who brings expertise from Worldwide Cyclery. Additionally, Sully Notaro, a second-year junior, will be supported as the team's Junior Development rider for North American races, aiming for a breakout season.
A New Chapter for Crestline
The team's formation marks a significant shift for Crestline Speed Shop. Initially, the company was a part of Aaron's Gwin Racing program, but a strategic decision was made to focus solely on racing.

Partners and Support
Crestline Speed Shop's success is underpinned by a strong network of partners. Crestline Bikes, OneUp Components, and other sponsors provide essential support, ensuring the team has the resources to perform at the highest level. Fox Racing, Bell Helmets, and NF gear are among the brands that will equip the riders with top-notch gear, enhancing their performance and safety.
Looking Ahead
As the team prepares for the upcoming season, the excitement is palpable. With a blend of experienced athletes and a dedicated support staff, Crestline Speed Shop is poised to make a significant impact in the world of mountain biking. The team's success will not only benefit the riders but also contribute valuable insights to the design of Crestline Bikes, creating a positive feedback loop that drives innovation in the sport.
