U.S. Criterium National Champion | World-Tour Tested | FasCat Coach

Stephen Bassett is a lifelong cyclist from Knoxville, TN, who’s been racing bikes since he was nine years old. He’s raced, and won, across nearly every discipline: mountain, road, gravel, and cyclocross.

While earning his degree at the University of Tennessee, Stephen launched himself onto the national and international scene with marquee wins including stages of the Redlands Classic, Tour of Hokkaido, Tour of Namur, and two stages plus the overall GC at Joe Martin Stage Race.

After college, he joined Rally/Human Powered Health and competed extensively in Europe, where he earned a 2nd place at Ruta del Sol and won the King of the Mountains jersey at the Arctic Race of Norway.

Most recently, Stephen raced for Project Echelon and capped off an incredible run by becoming the 2024 U.S. Criterium National Champion.
