Kashmir’s Adil Teli, a two-time Guinness World Records holder, will represent India at the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships 2025, scheduled from October 16 to 19 on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia.

Adil rose to prominence through two record-setting endurance rides. He completed the fastest Kashmir to Kanyakumari bicycle journey in 8 days, 1 hour and 39 minutes, and later achieved the fastest Manali to Leh ride in 29 hours, 18 minutes and 21 seconds. These milestones earned him national recognition, appearances on television, and even inclusion in school textbooks, cementing his role as an inspiration for young athletes.
