Athletic career

Ashton Lambie, a two-wheel mechanic by profession, originally mainly operated cycling in the gravel area (from English gravel , gravel, racing on unpaved roads), an alternative cycling movement. In 2015 he set a new record (24 hours, 53 minutes) on the long-distance crossing Crossing Kansas . The following year he finished second at the Gravel World Championships and sixth at Dirty Kanza . He was also champion of Kansas in Scratch and 1,000-meter time trial on the track and 2017 champion Florida in the scratch, the points race and in the individual pursuit . In view of these successes, he started increasingly in track races, also internationally.

In 2017, Ashon Lambie became the American track single track champion; in the Omnium and in the points race, he was runner-up. The American cycling website Bicycling compared the success of the amateur athlete, which surprised experts, with that of the Jamaican bobsleigh team when they qualified for the 1998 Winter Olympics. He then contested his first international track races: at the Pan American Championships in the same year he was fifth in the single pursuit, at the 2017/18 Track Cycling World Cup in Santiago de Chile he won bronze with the US four. At the following World Cup run in Minsk , he finished fifth in the pursuit and seventh at the 2018 World Railroad Championships .

On September 1, 2018, Ashton Lambie was two-time Pan American champion, in the singles and in the team pursuit. He set a new world record of 4: 07.251 minutes in the qualification of the single pursuit and thus improved the record of the Australian Jack Bobridge of 4: 10.534 minutes from 2011. Since then he has been called "the fastest mustache in the world".

In May 2019, Lambie won the Dirty Kanza over the 100 mile distance. In September 2019 he set a new world record (4: 06.407) in the qualification of the single pursuit at the Pan-American track championships, which he improved again to 4: 05.423 minutes in the final one day later.
