BRUTAL CONDITIONS AND A PODIUM FOR LINA’S FIRST WORLD CUP. THE TEAM COMES OUT OF THE RACE WEEKEND FEELING POSITIVE AND EXCITED FOR THE SEASON AHEAD.

Episode 2 of Just Getting Started Season 2 is out now. After braving brutal conditions this weekend in Bielsko-Biala, Poland, Norco Race Division is coming out of the race weekend feeling fired up about the rest of the season.

“I’m coming into this season feeling really confident. I think this will be the best season yet. I’m excited.” –Gracey Hemstreet

Lina Frener blew everyone away with her performance, placing second in juniors at her very first World Cup race. Incredible for her first race with a new team on a new bike. Watch out for this one.

“It was amazing seeing how calm she was at the top. She just wants to go out there and beat everyone. She wasn’t phased by the start gate, saying, ‘I’m going to just try and win.’” –Alan Milway, Team Manager

These athletes pour so much of themselves into this sport. It’s unpredictable and wild, but with a strong team to help navigate the variables, and a deep love for racing, it’s always worth it for those moments when everything clicks. There’s nothing better.

Check out the episode for more behind-the-scenes details of this wild ride – rumour also has it that the full team will be re-united at Loudenvielle. As always, stay up-to-date on what the team has been up to on and @norcoracedivision and norco.com/athletes.
