It is important to structure training for junior riders in a way that enables them to grow, race, learn, and find enjoyment in cycling over many years.
Junior riders are not small adults. As junior riders become serious about their racing, it is important to tailor an approach that meets them where they are in their cycling and racing journey and is tailored to their individual needs.
