Axel Froner

Dookola Mazowsza 2026, back in the top ten. 6 days of racing in Poland and happy to start the second half of the season in Europe with a bang. 7th on stage 2 in the pouring rain and 12th on stage 4 on a spare bike, I might not be the biggest guy but I can squeeze my way into a bunch sprint sometimes. The team rode the best I’ve ever seen this week animating the race in early breakaways, riding together at the front and then me and 髙木 英行. Hideyuki Takagi🇯🇵 getting after it in the sprints finishing in the top 15 almost every day. I didn’t know what to expect coming in as the sprint were a bit heavy for a rider like me, but I know the form was good and to be back in a UCI top ten again gives massive confidence for the rest of the year. Now onto Belgium for some kermessing around!

3 crits in Canada while on break from euro racing, Preston street first then shims GP and finally the big Gastown Grand Prix. My first time at this prestigious race and I made the most of it, went on the attack as much as possible and picked up some premes on the way. In the end I went pilot mode for the big Jayden McMullen who took a big podium. Thanks to TaG Cycling Race Team for having me back for this hometown race and to all the race organizers who made this little block as fun and profitable as possible. Now it’s time to head back to Poland for 6 days of fast racing to start the euro summer, let’s goooo.

Visegrad Czech and Poland, ups and downs. Came into this weekend in great form and highly motivated, my last weekend in Europe for this block and we had a strong team lined up looking for results. Unfortunately luck went a different way again as I hit the ground hard in Czech, hurting my shoulder bad and hitting my head pretty good. I was able to chase back with the help of my teammates and tried to help our leaders at the front as much as possible before I abandoned from the advice of the medical car. The next day I made the difficult decision to start in Poland, shoulder was still in a lot of pain as well as a few of my ribs but I was confident nothing was broken. The boys rode great all day, staying together at the front and covering every move. With the team riding so well and Ruben van Randeraat making the winning break it made it easy for me to push through the pain and fight until the end where I was able to weasel my way into a third place in the bunch sprint and 19th overall. Now back in Canada for some rnr and time to use this race as fuel to get more results for the team this summer.

Been a busy past few weeks racing in the Netherlands and Belgium with the boys. Hasn’t been the block that I was hoping for when I came over, bad luck and mistakes costed me a lot of results and even though the fitness feels to be there, the ex*****on has fallen flat. I’m not gonna lie I had a few rough weeks in May where I struggled to find that motivation to keep going. But after going to Belgium and seeing some old friends who have helped me so much in my career, I found that motivation again. Now with two big races coming up this weekend I’m ready to give it all I got before I head back to Canada. Always grateful for the support of the people around me and back home🙏!

My return to the 7th on stage 2 and 4th on stage 4… not bad.

Coming into the race I was gunning for the hilly stages 3 & 5, but less than 2 weeks before the start I got a nasty case of strep and was off the bike for almost a week. I knew I wouldn’t be at 100% for the race but it was something I was targeting for the start of my season so I came in just wanting to do the best I could. I definitely felt the illness on those hard stages and was disappointed to say the least finishing far out the back on terrain I’d usually thrive in. However in the sprints I was able to weasel my way into the top ten by staying in good position both times, not bad for a small guy. It was amazing to be back at my favourite race in North America and I wanna give a huge thank you to for giving me the opportunity to guest ride with them here. Also want to shout out my second family the Adorador’s for hosting me again, next time we go to PF Chang’s! Now off to Europe to join my boys

Season has started.

Earlier than usual and back in North America for the first time in a few years. Happy to get the racing legs moving at and in February, now back to Canada in March before the first big goal of the year in April. One top ten in the bag already let’s try and find some more.

Wet training days in Vancouver fueled by . Super excited to have them supporting me again this season with nutrition, perfect gels and drink mix for my early season North American campaign. Heading down south right now to get the season started next weekend!
