Hugh John Carthy (born 9 July 1994) is a British former professional road racing cyclist. Carthy's nickname "Huge" was coined when his name was mispronounced by an announcer in the Giro d'Italia, but stuck due to his ability to produce huge efforts and dig deep.
Early life
Carthy grew up in Preston. He attended Our Lady's Catholic High School.
Career
In 2014 he won the Tour de Korea stage race, and in 2015, he joined the Spanish team Caja Rural–Seguros RGA. He was named in the start list for the 2016 Vuelta a España and the start list for the 2017 Giro d'Italia. Carthy crashed out on stage 6 of the 2019 Vuelta a España, being one of four riders to abandon due to the crash. In August 2020, he was named in the startlist for the 2020 Tour de France. On 1 November 2020, Carthy notched his first grand tour stage win on the 2020 Vuelta a España's stage 12, which featured a summit finish on the Alto de l'Angliru. His time climbing the Angrilu was among the all-time top 10 and no one had ridden the climb faster since Chris Horner won the Vuelta there in 2013. He went on to finish third overall, his first podium in a grand tour.
