Magdeleine soloing to victory at the 2025 world championships in Rwanda may have been a surprise for some people, but not to Mags\u2019 teammates and loved ones. The consummate teammate, she has proven herself in the mountains in big stage races like the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a Femenina, the Giro d\u2019Italia Women, and the Tour de France Femmes, and one-day races like Strade Biance and Amstel Gold. Her enthusiasm for cycling drives her. <\/p>\n
She was about eight years old when she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. That Christmas, she got a new bike and the following summer her dad took her on a nine-day, 1,000 kilometer bikepacking trip. She credits her dad \u2013 and that trip \u2013 with creating her passion for cycling that has guided her life ever since.<\/p>\n
It led her to her first pro win in 2024, when she won the Trofeo Palma Femina in Mallorca. It later led her to her rainbow jersey, which she won at the world championships in Kigali.<\/p>\n
Growing up in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Magdeleine rode with her local club. She raced mountain bikes, cyclocross, and road bikes as a teenager. She also learned how to track stand and to this day cannot resist the urge to track stand when she waits at red lights. As much as she loved racing in Qu\u00e9bec, Magdeleine soon realized that if she wanted to continue to compete and grow as a rider, she needed to go to Europe. She earned a spot with the UCI\u2019s World Cycling Center program where she spent two seasons soaking up every opportunity she encountered before she turned pro.<\/p>\n
This year is Magdeleine\u2019s fifth as a professional racer. Don\u2019t take your eyes off her for a moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Magdeleine soloing to victory at the 2025 world championships in Rwanda may have been a surprise for some…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":518927,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":["post-518926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=518926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/518927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=518926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=518926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=518926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
