Six months ago, New Zealand's Nate Pringle wasn't even registered with a UCI team. On Monday, he stood on the podium at his first World Championships, runner-up in the under-23 time trial, sandwiched between some of the best under-23 riders in the world.
The 21-year-old joined Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe Rookies in March of this year, after mainly racing in New Zealand and Australia with the Oxford Edge Cycling Team, though he got his first taste of racing in Belgium last summer.
