Career

In September 2024, Augenstein fell at the German Criterium Championships when a pedestrian crossed the street in front of him, and Augenstein suffered multiple shoulder fractures and was unable to compete at the 2024 World Championships.[2]

In January 2025, Augenstein was part of a group of six German cyclists who were seriously injured in a training accident in Mallorca after an 89 year-old man drove into them whilst they were on a group training ride.[3][4] He had to undergo shoulder surgery and missed the 2025 European Track Championships the following month.[5][2]

In September 2025, Augenstein became European Derny Champion behind pacemaker Christian Ertel.[6][7]

In October 2025, he won the gold medal at the 2025 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in the men's scratch race in Santiago, Chile.[2] Alongside Roger Kluge he also placed fourth in the men's madison at the Championships.[8]
