At the end of August, the UCI Para-cycling World Championships will be held in Ronse – an event that pushes the boundaries of sport and celebrates the power of perseverance. In the run-up to this special World Championship, we made six video portraits of six inspiring cyclists with disabilities. Each athlete has their own story, their own path to the top – full of challenges, passion and perseverance. These portraits offer a glimpse into their lives, their motivation and their love for the sport. Discover how they push boundaries every day, in their own way. #RideBeyondLimits

Cycling enthusiasts could not ignore it: the annual Cape Epic took place from 16 to 23 March. South Africa was then the attraction for top international cyclists from various cycling disciplines choosing to duo-race on mountain bikes. In 2025, it was no different. Mountain biker Nino Schurter and former road cyclist Greg Van Avermaet, both 2016 Olympic champions, for instance, were at the start, each forming his own team. At their side were two top international disabled riders from Belgium: Ewoud Vromant & Louis Clincke. ‘Together, we overcame our disability again,’ said Clincke.
