His strategy of using Strava to become a professional is paying off, as there are already teams interested in him

After breaking the record of the Stelvio, the legendary Mortirolo, and, just a few days ago, the iconic Alpe d'Huez, Canadian amateur cyclist Jack Burke has managed to attract the interest of several teams, bringing him closer to his dream of competing in a World Tour team.

Several teams are interested in Jack Burke after his KOMs

Jack Burke continues to follow the advice given in his book "How to become a professional cyclist", a title that also corresponds to the podcast focused on training that the Canadian cyclist regularly does. A strategy that seems to be paying off after becoming a trend in recent weeks following his impressive achievements in breaking the best times on the Stelvio, Mortirolo, and Alpe d'Huez, previously held by cyclists of the caliber of Vincenzo Nibali or Sepp Kuss.

Through his activities on the popular Strava network, Burke sought to catch the attention of World Tour teams, asking for an opportunity to fulfill his dream of competing in the highest category of cycling after several years in the Continental category until a serious accident left him without a team. This season he returned to the amateur field where he has managed to win a large number of races as can be seen on his social networks, a year that culminates with these three KOMs.

According to Jack Burke himself, several teams have contacted him through social networks to request his Training Peaks data in order to analyze his performances and qualities. In any case, the Canadian believes that his chances of signing with a World Tour team would be around 30%.

If he were to sign with a World Tour team, his intention would be to become one of the best domestiques in the peloton and for the team that signs him to consider him as the best support for their leader.
