WHO IS FRED WRIGHT?
Fred Wright is one of the most aggressive young British riders of his generation — a Bahrain Victorious pro who has spent his early career attacking out of breakaways at Monuments and Grand Tours and has come within seconds of winning Paris-Roubaix. His openness in long-form interviews — particularly about the death of his teammate and friend Gino Mäder — has made him one of the more thoughtful voices on what life inside the peloton actually costs. For amateurs trying to understand the trade-offs of going pro, his honesty is the antidote to the highlight-reel pro mythology.
