The week: 1-7 January 2024
Location: Scotland and Spain
Training for: Cyclo-cross World Champs (4 Feb)
Coming from a mountain bike background, Carrick-Anderson is a former junior national cross-country (XCO) champion. In his first year in cyclo-cross as an under-23, he won the 2021/22 National Trophy series in the elite category as well as his age category. He rode the Tour of Rwanda on the road in 2023 with a Great Britain team and, despite his preference for knobbly tyres, does much of his training on the smooth ones during the winter. The multi-talented rider spoke to us just a few days before the World CX Champs, where he finished 25th in the U23 race.
