Cat Ferguson: Britain's biggest rising star

At 18 years old Cat Ferguson's palmares is already remarkably full. Last year she dominated the World Championships junior division - taking both the TT and Road titles in Zurich, that came a month after she bagged two more titles on the track in the Omnium and Team Pursuit.

Cat has subsequently kicked off 2025 with a Cyclocross relay World title and a third place on the road in her debut campaign at the prestigious Trofeo Alfredo Binda. We caught up with Cat in between recon days for Paris-Roubaix as she heads into her third monument of her fledgling career.
