Noah Hobbs is one of the fastest young sprinters in the peloton. Racing for EF Education-Aevolo last season, Noah dashed to a stage win at the Tour de l’Avenir, three stage victories at the Tour de Bretagne, and two stage wins plus the yellow jersey at the Volta ao Alentejo. He is excited to step up to the WorldTour and show his speed in the final kilometers of the biggest races.
Noah competes with British Cycling on the track and is aiming to make the next Olympics. He thinks that the speed that he develops on the boards will help him accelerate even faster in bunch kicks.
His favorite races are the craziest ones, like the classics, which are action packed from start to finish. He always wants them to end in a sprint.
Once the peloton gets to the final kilometers, Noah locks in, making instant decisions, as he jumps from wheel to wheel through the pack, before he sees the finish line and goes with everything that he has.
His dream is to win Tour de France bunch sprints.
Noah lives in Girona during the season but goes back to England whenever he can to chill out and play padel and Xbox with his friends.
