The clock doesn’t lie - we’ve crowned our champions in the 2025/26 SISU Racing Individual Time Trial Championships. Riders from across the globe took on the challenge, pushing their pacing, power, and mental focus to the limit in the purest discipline of the sport.

SISU Racing is proud to announce the launch of the SISU Academy – a bold new initiative dedicated to supporting riders under the age of 23 as they grow not only as cyclists, but as people.

This is more than a development program. It is a commitment to the future of our sport.

From a small village near the Bavarian Alps to the sharp end of elite Zwift racing, Lukas Feth represents everything powerful about the next generation of SISU Racing.

Born and raised in Dettendorf, 50km south of Munich, Lukas grew up surrounded by mountains. Skiing, climbing, bouldering — sport wasn’t optional, it was lifestyle. The mountains shaped him. And eventually, they revealed his strength.

Today, at U23 level, Lukas is one of SISU Racing’s most ambitious and disciplined young riders — a pure climber built for long efforts and high watts per kilo.

At just 15 years old, Oliver Macneill is already carving out a name for himself — not just as SISU Racing’s youngest member, but as one of its most exciting young climbers.

Repping SISU from York, UK, Oliver’s alarm goes off at 5:00am most days. Not for school. For training.

At just 18 years old, Matthew Ruisbroek is already rewriting his sporting identity.

Born in the Netherlands and now living in Valencia, Spain, Matthew originally moved there five years ago to pursue a professional motorcycle racing career. Valencia, after all, is one of Europe’s motorsport hubs.

But elite sport is unforgiving — and funding even more so.

When the financial backing for motorcycling fell short, Matthew didn’t give up on the dream of becoming a professional athlete.

He changed sports.

From the eastern suburbs of Sydney, Australia, Martin Khun logs in while much of the Zwift world is logging off.

Pacific timezone isn’t ideal when most racing caters to Europe and the US.

“But we have the best weather,” he smiles.

At 61, Martin isn’t chasing headlines. He’s chasing consistency. He’s chasing health. And he’s still rearranging global VP meetings to make sure he doesn’t miss SISU Club Championships.

Some habits never change.

From Providence, Rhode Island, Jess Galatro brings something beautifully simple to SISU Racing:

Ride your bike, support your people. and do the best you can with the body you have today.

And maybe eat a few Thin Mints along the way.

From opposite corners of Ontario — David in Sudbury and Erik in Waterloo — the Kalviainen twins prove that distance doesn’t dilute brotherhood.

Fraternal twins. Four minutes apart at birth. A lifetime of sport. And now, a shared obsession with cycling that keeps them connected across provinces and seasons.

From Halifax, Nova Scotia, Melissa Mountain brings East Coast energy, leadership, and unapologetic enthusiasm to SISU Racing.

If you’ve ever raced with her, you know two things: - the playlist is elite and the pace is not optional.

Born in Lahti, Finland, Sampo Malinen represents a new generation of Finnish athletes — fearless, adaptable, and quietly relentless.

At just 27 years old (born 1999), Sampo’s journey has already spanned elite junior ice hockey, professional cycling contracts in Europe, a life-threatening crash in Italy, national championship podiums, World Gravel Championships, and unforgettable rides across Australia.

From Porvoo, Finland, Olli Lappalainen is the kind of rider who makes SISU Racing feel unmistakably real. Durable. Team-first. Quietly relentless. The sort of “diesel engine” who doesn’t just survive the hard parts—he settles into them.

If you’ve ever heard a teammate calmly talking someone through an effort while they’re deep in the red… there’s a good chance you’ve shared a race radio channel with Lee Ragsdale.

Lee is 53 and rides out of Raleigh, North Carolina — a rider built for long days, strong decisions, and the steady belief that endurance isn’t something you “have” - it’s something you build over years. On Zwift and in real life, Lee has become one of SISU Racing’s most recognisable community connectors: the guy who keeps showing up, keeps planning, keeps encouraging, and somehow keeps bumping into SISU kit in the most unexpected places.
