MEET THE PROS
Let’s introduce you to the Pros that will be riding and coaching at the event.
Mark Cavendish
Fresh off breaking the record for the most stage wins in Tour de France history, Sir Mark Cavendish will now Ride for Inclusion with Best Buddies.
Having won points jerseys in the Tours of Spain, Italy, and France as well as World Championship titles on the road and track, Cavendish is the greatest sprinter in cycling history.
Recently retired from pro cycling, Cavendish joins Best Buddies with a personal connection to the mission. He and his wife, model Peta Todd, have four children, including their son, Frey, who experienced complete hearing loss after an illness as a baby. After numerous surgeries and therapy, Frey continues to receive support from his celebrity parents turned advocates for inclusion.
Cam Wurf
Cam Wurf was labeled the “world’s most versatile elite endurance athlete” by podcaster and wellness guru Rich Roll. A native of Tasmania and longtime ambassador for Best Buddies, Wurf has achieved world-class status in three sports. Having competed in rowing at the 2004 Olympics, Wurf switched to cycling with immediate success. He earned a spot in the UCI World Tour in Europe and completed the Vuelta a España and Giro d’Italia. He then became one of the top triathletes in the world, setting the fastest bike time in two successive editions of Kona. Popular with fans and other riders, Wurf is referred to as the “Chief Motivation Officer” of every team he joins. For that, the INEOS Grenadiers recruited the Australian for both cycling and triathlon. Now 40, Wurf shocked not only pundits but also his fellow riders when he delivered a solid team ride in Paris-Roubaix, finished the grueling “Queen of the Classics”, and then laced up running shoes and ran a half marathon for training.
