19-year-old, Groupama - FDJ neo-pro Noah Hobbs sprinted to a very impressive second on the opening stage of the 2023 Arctic Race of Norway behind Alberto Dainese.
“I always want to see a bit of steady improvement. I’m still chasing the win, so that would be nice. I just want to ride as many races as I can get in for the second half of the season to help me learn and develop for next year," Hobbs told The British Continental pre-race. “I’m still in my first year, so there’s still a lot of development needed."

“I’m a sprinter. I wouldn’t say I’m an out-and-out pure sprinter, but in terms of the riders out there, I’m a sprinter," Hobbs continues outlining what kind of future he sees for himself in the peloton over the coming years. "I like to think I can get over some climbs that some of the other pure sprinters might struggle on, but I’m still a sprinter."
“I’ve found the difference between the junior and U23 ranks quite different, even from the start, like training more hours in the winter," he concludes, referencing the marked difference in standards. "I went on training camps for the first time and obviously the races are different, they’re a lot longer to start with. My first race, I rode it like a junior pretty much and it was a lot longer than I thought it would be!”
