Career[edit]

Carthy began competing on the elite UCI Trials World Cup in 2012. He finished third in his first World Cup event in Aalter, Belgium aged just 15.[5] He won the overall Elite World Cup title in 2014 while still a junior, winning 3 of the 5 rounds. He successfully defended his World Cup title in 2015 and 2016 and is thus the reigning UCI World Cup champion.[3][6]

Carthy was junior UCI world champion in 2013 and 2014 and junior European champion in 2014.[3] In the Elite category in 2015 he was European champion and finished second in the UCI World Championships in Vallnord, Andorra.[7][8]

In 2016 Carthy won the 2016 UCI World Championship in the elite 26-inch category in Val di Sole, Italy.[3] He was the first British rider to win a UCI Elite Trials World Championship in any category. He retained his title in 2017, winning at the UCI Urban Cycling World Championships in China.[9]
