Theodor Storm (born 31 March 2005) is a Danish cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Ineos Grenadiers.
Career
2023
Storm rode in 2022 and 2023 for the Danish team NPV–Carl Ras Roskilde. Aged 17 years-old, Storm raced at the 2023 UEC European Track Championships in Grenchen, Switzerland in February 2023 against elite riders.
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.
2024
He signed to ride for UCI WorldTeam Ineos Grenadiers from 2024, agreeing to a three-year contract. He was initially due to turn pro with Ineos in 2025, but his pathway was fast-tracked in December 2023 to move straight from juniors and skip the U23s into the World Tour. However, after competing in the Madison at the 2024 UEC European Track Championships, he was diagnosed with autoimmune illness Guillain-Barré syndrome which led to him being hospitalised for a few months in 2024 and was unable to compete in the road season.
