Alexey Vermeulen is still a week away from the official start of his 2026 season at RADL GRVL in Australia and the US gravel racer may have just scored his biggest win of the year. On Wednesday, he announced a career-long contract extension with ENVE components that will provide support through the end of his years as a full-time racer and continue with a role with athlete development.
In the months leading to his 31st birthday in December, Vermeulen began discussion for a new contract with his primary gravel sponsor, ENVE, who provides his bike, wheels and various components. The partnership was created in 2021 when the Michigan native moved from road racing to off-road racing. That first year he competed in Unbound Gravel 200 and finished in the top 20.
