Kevin Vermaerke

Bobby and Jens spoke to Kevin Vermaerke just days after the "hardest ever world championship road race" in Glasgow to discuss why this wunderkind is getting American cycling fans excited. We discover how he killed the time during the protest on course, his thoughts of leading the race and what it's like to tackle a challenging course that was raced so aggressively. He lined up at the 2022 Tour de France as the second youngest rider on the start line, by the tame his second shot at La Grande Boucle came around... he was still the third youngest. Kevin shares his thoughts about growing up in USA cycling's youth programme and spending time as a teenager living in the nation of his father - Belgium. Winning Liege-Bastogne-Liege as an U23 rider for Axel Merckx team and we look ahead to his future as he reveals his plans for the future with DSM-Firmenich.
