Next Gen Racing – Next Gen Content
The campaign was launched for this year’s Tour de l’Avenir, with the goal of broadcasting the biggest race of the rising cycling stars through the lens of a young and rising content creator – gaining valuable experience for a possible future career in the field of cycling content creation, showcasing their work at the U23’s biggest race of the year and spotlighting our Devo Team.
Launching the campaign in July, more than 140 applications were received – and after carefully reviewing every application and two rounds of interviews for the finalists, it was Clara, a 19-year-old photographer, videographer and cyclist from Berlin, who fully convinced with her concept and motivation to join the Devo Team in France.
Clara reflects on her week at Tour de l’Avenir, unique experiences and pushing the boundaries of her comfort zone:
"This past week has been a truly unique experience - following a professional-level Team, even with my cycling background, was an exciting and challenging step up. Pushed out of my comfort zone and having to adjust to a new environment on so many levels, I realized that every obstacle is an opportunity to learn and grow. I'm grateful for the chance to build my skills, optimize my workflow, and adapt to a fast-paced world that not everyone gets to experience. Being part of something so special reminds me that these moments are gifts and embracing them leads to both personal and professional growth."
Asked about the most special takeaway from her time at Tour de l’Avenir:
"The most special thing to me was seeing everyone working together toward one goal, putting everything into it - not just for the riders, but for the staff and each other. The Team welcomed me so warmly, and that created an incredibly relaxed, positive atmosphere."
Thanks for joining us, Clara!
