Caudell debuted at Paris-Roubaix 2026 at 19 years and 216 days, the youngest man in the field and, at 6ft 8in, also the tallest. That race built his profile as a rider to watch out of Modern Adventure Pro Cycling. The crash on Kelly Drive during the men's race — in a Classic making its return after a decade away — knocked him out cold before he regained consciousness en route to the hospital. Menten was also taken for treatment, but it's Caudell's trajectory that this stalls hardest: a teenager who'd just proven he belonged among the sport's biggest names now facing recovery instead of a follow-up season.
