<p>According to a statement from USA Cycling, “He was a rising star in the off-road cycling scene and his passion for cycling was evident through his racing and camaraderie with his teammates and local community.”</p>
<p>We bike in Magnus’ honor.</p>
<p>White considered his victory in the 2021 Junior 17–18 Cyclocross National Championships a “pivotal moment” because it gave him the chance to compete in European races.</p>
<p>He later competed in a complete season of European cyclocross racing with the USA Cycling National Team and finished the year at the 2022 UCI Cyclocross World Championship in Arkansas.</p>
<p>In January of this year, he competed for the United States in another Cyclocross World Championships in Hoogerheide, and this summer, he qualified for the Mountain Bike World Championships team.</p>
<p>When White was 10, he started competing on a national level, and he gave his father credit for getting him interested in it.</p>
<p>White says in his biography on the USA Cycling website, “My dad really got me into cycling when I was growing up since he raced road. Then I found my local team (Boulder Junior Cycling), which has some very amazing coaches who got me where I am now.</p>
