About Stephen
The dictionary definition of a breakaway artist, Stephen is most comfortable when he’s out the front of a race battling for intermediate points. His overall victory in the KOM classification at the Arctic Race of Norway, as well as wearing the KOM jersey in the Vuelta a Andalucia Ruta Ciclista Del Sol and Tour of Britain, demonstrate his penchant for hills. Stephen enjoys pushing himself to do things on the bike he previously thought weren’t possible. His style when battling for intermediate points might not be the prettiest but it certainly bests the opposition.
Having raced since the age of nine, Stephen knows the importance of mental fortitude in cycling and strives to keep a healthy work-life balance to help him perform on the bike. When he’s not racing, he can be found with his nose in a book or getting lost in a movie.
