How can a young rider make the jump from US high school racing to a professional career as a cyclist? Alexey Vermeulen worked his way up from winning junior road nationals to a spot on a WorldTour team in Europe, and then forged his way as a privateer in the burgeoning American gravel scene.
But many of the pathways Alexey and others of his generation used as stepping stones to a pro career as a rider are gone in the US. So this year, Alexey worked with some of his sponsors to create an opportunity for two young riders to get a taste of what it’s like to be a supported rider at three Life Time events: Unbound Gravel, Crusher in the Tushar, and Big Sugar.
