TJ Eisenhart is the U23 National Time Trial Champion who reached the WorldTour through BMC's pipeline, walked away from professional road racing, founded the art collective Imaginary, and built a second career as a mural artist while continuing to race gravel. His arc — from pro racing into breathwork, art and gravel — is one of the more thoughtful 'what next?' stories in modern cycling. For amateurs who want a richer relationship with the sport than results alone provide, his perspective is unusually grounded.
The major positions Eisenhart is known for in cycling and endurance sport.
