Career

[edit]

2023

[edit]

Storm rode in 2022 and 2023 for the Danish team NPV–Carl Ras Roskilde.[3] Aged 17 years-old, Storm raced at the 2023 UEC European Track Championships in Grenchen, Switzerland in February 2023 against elite riders.[4]

He finished third at the Paris–Roubaix Juniors in 2023 and also finished fifth in the junior road race at the UCI Road World Championships in Glasgow in August 2023 after helping teammate Albert Philipsen to victory.[5]

2024

[edit]

He will ride for UCI WorldTeam Ineos Grenadiers from 2024, agreeing to a three-year contract.[6] He was initially due to turn pro with Ineos in 2025, but his pathway was fast-tracked in December 2023, and will see him move straight from juniors and skip the U23s into the World Tour.[7][8]
