The Downtime Podcast

Today, we’re joined by Anna Newkirk, a rider who had a standout 2024 season that put her on the radar of multiple teams. Ultimately, she chose to join Frameworks Racing for 2025. Anna’s journey started with racing IXS Cups, where she honed her skills and went head-to-head with Vali Höll—a rivalry that followed them into the World Cup circuit. In 2024, Anna delivered some incredible results, including a 3rd place qualifying at Fort William and a 2nd place finish in Leogang. Now, with her move to Frameworks Racing, we’re diving into what’s next for this rising star. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Anna Newkirk.
