Commonwealth Games 2018

I'm super happy to announce that I've been selected to represent Team Wales at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast, Australia.



First of all, I'd like to say a massive 'thank you' to all of the people who have helped me over the last few years. The biggest thanks has to go out to my parents who have supported me 110% ever since I started racing. I also want to thank Welsh Cycling for giving me this fantastic opportunity. Last Year I received financial help from Pedal Potential and the Tom Maynard Trust. This helped to fund racing on the continent in 2017, where I gained plenty of experience for the next step in my career. Big thanks to both!

I'm also keeping the family tradition alive as my Dad represented Wales in the 1990 Auckland commies in the Triathlon. This means a lot to me as my dad has passed on his wisdom ever since I got into cycling. It's a bit of a coincidence that we'll both have competed in Southern hemisphere commonwealth games too!

Once again, I have to say a massive thanks to Welsh cycling for selecting me. I am very proud to represent my Country and I really want to give it my best shot come April!
