Christchurch cyclist Andre Free is set to race on the world stage in Montreal, aiming for top ten finishes in a brutal road race and time trial at the UCI Under 19 World Championships. Before the big event, he’s racing twice weekly in Belgium with the Isorex team to sharpen his skills against elite global talent. His recent podium finishes in Australia—despite extreme heat and tough conditions—show his grit, and he’ll study remotely with full school support. With eyes on a professional European career and even the Tour de France, Andre’s launching a three-month campaign starting June 22, and he’s raising funds via Givealittle to make his dream ride possible.
