Cat Ferguson, an 18-year-old cyclist, is making her mark in elite racing during the 2025 spring Classics campaign. After securing a podium finish at Trofeo Alfredo Binda and achieving a top-20 at Milan-San Remo, Ferguson showcased her tenacity in the Classic Brugge-De Panne. Despite battling a minor illness, she embraced a breakaway, practicing her mental endurance and aerodynamics solo for 30km. Although she was caught near the finish line, Ferguson reflected positively on the lessons learned, emphasizing the importance of mental resilience and aerodynamics in flat races.
"I was told it was only around 15, 20 seconds, so I was trying not to look back because I knew how little that gap was."
"You learn a lot being out at the front, mentally - how to push yourself and to keep going when I knew my gap was 20 seconds for the whole time."
