Ross Edgar

Career profile
Ross’s early cycling years as a young teenager were spent with West Suffolk Wheelers, where he honed his skills and demonstrated his turn of speed whilst training with the Club on the concrete sugar beet collection pan at British Sugar which was used by the Club for weekly training sessions and mock races during the factory’s shut down period.   Ross also tried his hand at time trialling in the Club’s evening time trial series. His talent was soon realised and he quickly won a place at the British Cycling Academy in Manchester.

Ross moved to Manchester permanently, where he established himself as one of the most promising young British track cyclists to emerge in recent years. Ross came close to realising his long-term aspiration of winning a gold at the Beijing Olympics but cannot be too disappointed as the only person to beat him in the keirin was team-mate Chris Hoy. Ross also cemented his reputation as a fine team sprinter with a gold medal in the discipline at the Manchester World Cup in 2008.  A feat he helped to repeat in 2009.
