The 2026 MBAA Series has officially wrapped, and I couldn’t be more proud of this team.
Five months of racing in the MBAA MTB series demands more than just fitness—it takes grit, consistency, discipline, and a willingness to show up and compete at a high level week after week. To come out the other side as a series finalist, let alone a winner, is a true testament to the commitment each of these athletes brings to the table.
I want to recognize our podium finishers:
🥇 Jessy McKelvey
🥇 Cody Batten
🥇 Ben Porter
🥇 Kevin Denz
🥇 Pat Hammond
🥈 Martin Crabo
🥈 Herb Rosborough
🥈 Kaolin Cummins
🥈 Carlos Vanegas
🥉 Steve Hovanec
🥉 Justin Dawson
🥉 George Hackett
🥉 Matthew Borso
🥉 Mike Sullivan
As a team owner, I’m incredibly grateful to be surrounded by such a dedicated, hardworking, and supportive group of athletes. The results speak for themselves, but what stands out even more is the culture—showing up for each other, pushing limits, and representing the team with professionalism and pride.
