About Me

ABOUT ME

I was born into a family of cycling pedigree - my dad, Magnus won the Paris-Roubaix in 2004, in addition to stage wins in both the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia, and Mum competed for Wales at the Commonwealth Games. No surprise that my sister and I took to the pedals, with Elynor currently riding in the professional peloton for Lidl-Trek.

 

Since I got into cycling, I have tried all disciplines, spreading my skills on the track, road and in the mud for cyclocross.

 

Success on the road has been very exciting, winning the Junior World Champs Road Race and ITT in Wollongong in 2022. It was an honour to wear the rainbow colours, which inspired me every time I went out on my bike. I have now moved into the Women’s WorldTour peloton which is amazing, and I’m stoked to be building my experience amongst the best in the world. I had my first WorldTour win during the Simac Tour in September 2024 which was a huge moment. 

In cyclocross, I am the current U23 World Champion and I can't get enough of this discipline over the winter. I am buzzing for the UCI World Cup 2024/2025 season with Canyon/Sram. The more mud, the happier I am! 

 

I’m looking forward to my career with Canyon/Sram and enjoying success doing what I love.

“I’ve never cried so much after a race. I crossed the line and I realised I was Junior World Champion.
It meant so much to me that I could wear the rainbow jersey.”
