With racing put on hold seemingly indefinitely in March due to COVID-19, it’s been a very different season for riders this year. Neko Mulally is no exception. After a flight out of Portugal from testing with Fox as the pandemic spread, he’s been staying close to home in Western North Carolina but closely monitoring the situation in the region.
