My Support
Every athlete needs a crew of support behind them. At this level most are employed to aid in my improvements as an athlete.
My support for the 2023 season are listed below. There are some new, returning and old organisations in this year’s list. I’ll be outlining who they are as an organisation and how they’re helping me out. Even how you could benefit from their aid too! It’s an exciting list this year. Enjoy.

Bingoal Wallonie Bruxelles
The best place to start is by outlining my team for the 2023 season. I’ll be remaining with a largely yellow colourway on my back this season, albeit a slightly different shade. Bingoal WB has a history of standing out in the peloton with, not only their bold kit choices, but also their aggressive and bold way of racing against the highest tier World Tour Teams in the largest classics. I feel this culture has trickled down to their Continental Development team which I will be a part of in 2023 with the close relationship and recycled management team that support both teams equally. Many of the same faces throughout the organisation help out in the Conti Development team.
I’m looking forward to taking on some of the biggest u23 races the UCI has to offer. It will be a big step up for me this year, having completed some top UCI races in 2022. However, this year is a different ball game with almost an entire season of the highest U23 UCI classified races. As is often the case at this level of racing, I am aiming to get some opportunities to ride up and experience their professional outfit in training camps, and later, the Professional UCI races. You may have seen this team bring the racing alive in many a breakaway in 2022. they also brought the race alive in the Tour of Britain last season. I’m more than excited to be bringing this jersey back to the British shores.

One Life ID
One Life ID have been very supportive of me and the career aspirations for quite some time. I began wearing their wristbands back in 2018, and then was initially in contact with them as a brand from 2019 when I began wearing the ID more regularly. In 2023 as I begin to travel alone, and further afield it will be even more important to be wearing one of these ID bands when training and racing. They store all your important ICE contacts right on your wrist, and I also get a personalised web page with important information that the emergency services may find useful. Even conversation starters on topics that you like to ease your mind should the worst happen.
I found OneLife ID incredibly useful when I was in a tiny Hospital in the North of France. My surname ends with ‘outh’ which is notoriously difficult for the francophone to pronounce, and therefore difficult for me to explain when in pain in bed. Therefore, the band came in useful because I could just show the nurses on call my name in writing. Saving time, energy and frustrations. They loved it, and I believe that I received a nicer experience in hospital as a result.
