Tudor Pro Cycling Signs American Climber Will Barta

Tudor Pro Cycling is pleased to welcome Will Barta, the American climber and GC specialist, to the Team on a two-year deal.  

26.09.2025

At 29, Barta has already made a name for himself in the WorldTour, with standout performances in the mountains and in time trials - most notably his 2nd place in the La Vuelta ITT in 2020. 

Originally from Idaho and expat in France, Barta is drawn to Tudor Pro Cycling’s commitment to innovation. “The importance they give to innovation in everything, especially time trials, makes me excited to get started,” he said. 

Barta has been following the team since 2023 and gained an inside perspective through his friendship with current Tudor rider Larry Warbasse. “When I had the chance to meet the Team and see how professional they are in every area - science, coaching, training, nutrition, equipment - I was immediately impressed. The way they race together at the front is something I truly want to be part of.” 

Looking ahead, Barta is focused on growth and results: “Having the Team’s belief in me is a huge source of motivation. I’m confident that the stable and supportive environment will help me take the next steps in my career. My goals are to target stage wins in one-week races and mountain stages in Grand Tours, while always supporting our team leaders.” 

With Barta joining, Tudor Pro Cycling strengthens its roster in the mountains and time trials, adding both experience and ambition to the Team’s mission for the upcoming seasons. 

Will ends his 2025 season this Sunday in Rwanda at the World Championships Road Race. Good luck, Will — and welcome to the Team!
