Ashlin Barry is going to crush anything he touches

[ChewbaccaDefense]

He's 16 years old (He hit the genetic lottery with his mom and dad), and won the WC qualifier in Canada, last weekend (on a steel bike built by his dad +1000 F**king Cool Points). Kid is going places...first stop the Gravel World Championships: https://www.renehersecycles.com/win...6jfrCZipjOwg0D_MFI_aem_rDz6xNDk80vIp9MGL6viRg

Thanks for the heads up i will keep a look out for him in the future.

He's obviously an amazing talent, but 16, two years later and he maybe down the pub, women a Top priority and bikes a distant past.
He looks ahead for his age in the puberty race and things can change.

I'd say he deserves a bit more hype than that, considering he's been mixing it with 18 years old top juniors like Felix Ørn-Kristoff in the road races this season, getting some serious results along the way.

Forgive me if mentioning road cycling is not allowed in this sub-forum.

Oh I'm not doubting his exceptional talent, just that in all sports talent is only one part of making it as a successful senior, commitment, environment and the exceptional will to make the ongoing commitment.
Many top juniors become stars, many top juniors don't.

He has a mom and dad who have been in the big show. I would think their tutelage is going to be helpful to his career.
