Just two days before his 18th birthday, Ashlin Barry stepped onto the podium in Kigali, Rwanda, to claim his first UCI medal. The 17-year-old came within seven seconds of the rainbow jersey in the junior world time trial championships, settling for silver but securing his place as America’s newest star in the making.
Already a three-time U.S. national champion, Barry has had a stellar junior career with second-place finishes in the junior races at Paris–Roubaix and E3 Harelbeke, an all-out win at the UCI Gravel Series race in the Blue Mountains, and second overall in the World Omnium Championships on the track in 2024.
