Alexandra Fangeat takes bronze at junior track worlds

A great day for Alexandra Fangeat of St. Thomas, Ont.! She took bronze in the women’s junior points race at the 2025 UCI junior track world championships in Apeldoorn, Netherlands.

Fangeat was steady and tactical across the 80-lap event. She scored points in multiple sprints and held her position through a fast, strategic final. Her ride earned her Canada’s first endurance medal of the championships.
