17 year-old Jacob Rathe will have a lot to tell his Lincoln High School classmates when he returns to school for his Senior year this fall.
On Monday, he’ll board a plane to Cape Town, South Africa where he’ll compete in the UCI Juniors World Championships.
I caught up with him on the Eastbank Esplanade today to find out more about his past, his preparation, and how he feels going into the biggest race of his life (so far).
Rathe is a quiet, unassuming kid who has been racing since he was 13. From his demeanor, you’d never guess that he’s such a fierce (and fast) competitor.
