TEAM HIGH COUNTRY ATHLETES 2026
Zac Bradley 🇦🇺
After an impressive 10th-place overall finish in the 2025 World Series, Zac will step up to the Elite Men’s category in 2026.
This milestone marks the next phase of his progression toward becoming a world-class downhill athlete.
Highly driven and focused, Zac will compete in the Australian/New Zealand Continental Series before returning to Europe for the 2026 season. His goal for the year is clear: to break into Elite World Cup finals and establish himself as a contender on the global stage.
George Madley 🇬🇧
After securing a 7th-place overall finish in the 2025 World Series, George will advance to the Elite Men’s category in 2026.
Building on his strong overall ranking and momentum from last season, he enters the elite field with a proven record of consistency and competitiveness.
Fresh off his fourth consecutive British National Championship, George is poised to be a genuine contender in the Elite World Series. His trajectory, discipline, and race craft position him as one of the rising threats in the 2026 Elite lineup.
Ryder Wilson 🇨🇦
Entering his first year as a Junior in 2025, Ryder competed in only a select number of World Series rounds yet still delivered an impressive performance, finishing 23rd overall.
His limited schedule didn’t stop him from showcasing world-class potential, with race times in his home country of Canada already comparable to those of Elite Men—a strong indicator of his upward trajectory.
Ryder closed out his season on North American soil with standout results, securing 2nd place at the US Open and 3rd overall in the Triple Crown DH Series. These achievements highlight both his raw speed and his ability to rise to the occasion on major stages, positioning him as one of the most promising young riders moving into 2026.
Roisin McGuinness
The beginning of Roisin’s 2025 season was impacted by injury, costing her valuable UCI points and limiting her preparation for key World Cup events.
Despite the setback, she showcased exceptional resilience— returning to racing at Lake Placid and Mont-Sainte-Anne, where she gained crucial experience and steadily rebuilt speed in her debut junior season.
In 2026, Roisin will compete in the Australian/New Zealand Continental Series before heading to Europe, where she aims to convert her growing form into results. With renewed momentum and a strong foundation behind her, she has her sights firmly set on podium finishes at the 2026 World Cups, positioning her as an emerging threat in the junior women’s field.
