Manage episode 463824294 series 3485711
Whether you’re a passionate cyclocross fan or just curious about the sport, this episode is packed with insights, inspiration, and everything that makes bike racing such a dynamic and evolving discipline.
Today, we’re joined by Antoine Huby, a rising talent in cycling from the Brittany region of France. Antoine made a name for himself in cyclocross, winning the U23 French Championship in 2021, before making waves on the road in 2023 with standout performances, including a win at the U23 Course de la Paix, a second-place finish at Liège–Bastogne–Liège U23, and a top-five at the Tour Alsace. His rapid rise caught the attention of Soudal Quick-Step, where he is now in his second season.
With the Cyclocross World Championships happening this weekend in Liévin, northern France—just a short drive from his home—it’s the perfect time to hear from Antoine about his training, race strategies, and technical skills that make cyclocross such an essential foundation for top road racers. We’ll also dive into his admiration for Julian Alaphilippe, his aspirations for Strade Bianche, and his thoughts on the crossover between CX and road racing.
So, buckle up and get ready for an inside look at the world of cyclocross and its influence on road racing. Let’s dive in!
