"Caroline Mani" — The French cyclocross star will retire this year, 15 years after launching her career in Colorado.
No adjective suits Caroline Mani better than “never-give-up,” a spirit perfectly embodied by her aggressive racing style on the cyclocross circuit. By the 2025-2026 season, she will have dedicated 20 years to the sport. This weekend, at the UCI C2 Boulder Cup in Colorado, she is set to make a grand final appearance, kicking off the last two rounds of competition amid high expectations.
At just 38 years old, Mani boasts five French National Cyclocross Championship titles, most recently claiming the iconic tricolor jersey in her hometown of Besançon in 2019. Her illustrious career includes a silver medal at the 2016 UCI Cyclocross World Championships, a bronze at the same year’s European Championships, and 32 top-ten finishes in World Cup events.
She says what makes her final weekend so special is pinning on her last race number in the small Colorado town where it all began—a memory she will cherish forever.
