EVAN

Time trial specialist, Evan Boyle, was the first of two American riders that the Hagens Berman Jayco Cycling Team added to the roster in 2024. Evan joined Axeon from Aevolo Cycling.

“Joining Hagens Berman Jayco is an honor for me and I look forward to continuing my cycling journey on the best development team in the world,” said Evan. “I will make the most of this incredible opportunity.”

Evan’s Palmares:
2024 US Men’s Elite TT Nationals - 16th place
US U23 TT Nationals - 2nd place
US PRO TT Nationals - 4th place
U23 TT Worlds - 25th place

The 20-year-old from Alexandria, VA reflected on a special moment, “my highlight of the past year was a young fan asking me to sign her shirt,” said Evan. “She was not interested in how I raced or what my name was. She just thought it was cool that a pro cyclist would sign her shirt. It puts into perspective what I do week in week out and how exciting that is for fans. While I am always focused on performance, it is still entertaining for spectators and it was a huge, ‘I’ve made it’ moment for me. Throughout the season, when I’m surrounded by the experience of Axel and Koos and all of the management, I am reminded about how much more I have to learn. I am looking forward to another opportunity to prove myself.”

“I was impressed with Evan’s 2023 ride at US Pro Nationals in the time trial and heard a lot of good things about him,” said team owner and director Axel Merckx. “He hasn’t been racing for a very long time so I feel like his growth margin is still very big. I’m looking forward to seeing where his development and growth will take him.”
