British U23 cyclist
ABOUT ME
I am a 19-year-old (2nd year U23) multi-discipline cyclist from Devon in the UK. I have been racing mtb:xco and cyclocross for around seven years and have started road and gravel racing in the last couple of years. I had a successful year in 2023 – highlights included:
- road – achieving my 1st cat road race licence following several wins and podiums in 2023 including 2nd place in the final round of the U23 national road series
- gravel – racing two rounds of the UCI Gravel World Series, including 6th U23 in La Monsterrato race in Italy
- cyclocross – winning all of my races in the South West CX league, including the regional champs (senior)
- mtb:xco – winning the final round of the UK XC MTB series and finishing 2nd in the overall series (expert category), and achieving my elite race licence for 2024
I am hoping to build on these achievements in 2024 and will be moving to Alcoy in Spain to race on the road for the Brocar-Rali-Ale team.
