Development cycling
Historic North American Junior Development Cycling Program
Hot Tubes Development Cycling Team is the longest-running and most successful junior cycling program in North America. Founded by Toby Stanton in 1992, the team has always focused on developing junior cyclists. The team has had many sponsors over the years including Wonder Bread, GS Mengoni, and Saturn. It finally became Hot Tubes in 1998. The team has more than 120 alumni and close to 20 who are currently competing in cycling professionally.
What we look for in our athletes
While athletic performance is necessary, it is not sufficient for success at Hot Tubes. We care about the whole person and require:
-
The ability to collaborate in a team environment
-
A balance between athletics and academics
-
Willingness to engage in all aspects of team responsibilities at camps and races
Hot Tubes is looking for:​
-
Current road cyclists with a verifiable, high level of performance in road cycling
-
Athletes from other sports or cycling disciplines who have the potential to transfer their skills to road cycling (mountain biking, ski racing, cyclocross, ice hockey, soccer)
​
Personal attributes we value:
-
Self-discipline
-
Personal organization
-
Listening skills
-
Pride of ownership in your equipment
-
Time management skills
-
Empathy
-
Commitment
-
Integrity
We are fortunate to have great sponsors and supporters. We offer equal support to our cyclists, regardless of a family's ability to fund a cycling career.
