Antoine Huby

Antoine Huby (born 19 January 2001) is a French cyclist who competes in road bicycle racing and cyclo-cross. He rides for the UCI Continental team 7-Eleven Cliqq Roadbike Philippines. He previously rode for the UCI WorldTeam Soudal Quick-Step during the 2024 and 2025 seasons. His racing height is 1.74 meters and his racing weight is 56 kilograms. He specializes as a climber and a puncheur in road cycling events. He won French national cyclo-cross championships in the cadet, junior, and Under-23 age groups. He began riding bicycles during his childhood. He completed evening training rides on the local roads around Uzel with his father. Huby attended La Ville Davy, an educational institution located in Quessoy. He enrolled in the professional baccalaureate program known as NJPF, which stands for Nature, Jardins, Paysage, Foret. Couppey provided Huby with technical guidance on off-road bicycle handling. Huby advanced to the junior category and joined the amateur team VC Pays de Loudeac. He made his WorldTour debut in Australia at the Santos Tour Down Under in January 2024, finishing twenty-seventh in the general classification. Huby began the 2025 season with a return trip to Australia, finishing eleventh at the Surf Coast Classic. The collision forced him to stop riding for several weeks. He participated in the Tour of Burgos in August, recording three stage finishes within the top twenty. Soudal Quick-Step did not renew his contract for the 2026 season.

Contract free agency and psychological impact The non-renewal of his contract left Huby without an employer for the 2026 season. He struggled to leave his house to ride his bicycle and stopped following the training plans provided by his coach, Herve Gebel. Huby signed with the team to return to competition and score UCI points.

Stage 10 of the competition took place on May 9, 2026. Huby bridged across to a six-man breakaway group in the final ten kilometers. Huby crossed the finish line alone in 3 hours, 32 minutes, and 1 second, collapsing in physical exhaustion. Shulchenko dropped to the rear of the lead group. Huby launched an acceleration, establishing a 15-second gap. The route required the riders to ascend Kennon Road. Huby broke away from Shulchenko and the lead group past the Lion's Head landmark with seven kilometers remaining. He was awarded the Most Combative Rider honors. Huby's individual performances, along with teammates Ronnilan Quita, Mervin Corpuz, and Jonel Carcueva, secured the Team General Classification title for 7-Eleven Cliqq Roadbike Philippines. The team finished with a cumulative time of 162 hours, 25 minutes, and 49 seconds. The event is a Category 2.2 race on the UCI Africa Tour calendar. Huby targeted Stage 3, a 125 kilometer route from Cascavelle to Bois Cheri. He crossed the finish line first in a time of 3 hours, 12 minutes, and 7 seconds, tying on time with Anatolii Budiak. Huby finished the tour in second place in the general classification with an aggregate time of 12 hours, 9 minutes, and 56 seconds.
