Is the first time you have had support from the DRF? (if not, how long have you been funded)

Yes!

What is your cycling history? (how long have you been cycling?, who introduced you to cycling, which club are member of in the UK?)

Started cycling aged fourteen with Cycling Club Hackney and raced with them all the way up until I signed for Bisselll. Spent a year on the British Cycling’s Talent Team before joining the Olympic Development Programme for two great years. Also received a great deal of support from John Barclay and Alan Rosner, racing abroad and learning about the sport, and from Rapha and Condor who sponsored me for three years.
