Ed Lowe (cyclist)

Growing up in Stamford, Lincolnshire, Lowe's first experience of cycling came through the Fenland Clarion Cycling Club.[1][2] Later he rode in endurance races regionally and nationally for Bourne Wheelers before switching to track cycling in 2018.[1]

He was selected to the Great Britain Cycling Team (GBCT) apprenticeship scheme at 15 and, two years later, he was enrolled into the junior programme going on to become a team sprint European Junior Champion.[1]

As part of Team Inspired he won a gold medal at the 2023 British Cycling National Track Championships in the team sprint.[1]

Having moved up to the GBCT podium squad, Lowe took part in his first elite level Nations Cup in Canada in April 2023, helping the team win a bronze medal.[2]

In February 2024, he was a member of the British team that pipped China by 0.3 seconds in the minor final to secure bronze at the Nations Cup event in Australia.[2][3][4]

He followed that performance up later in the month by winning a second successive national team sprint title with Team Inspired at the 2024 British Cycling National Track Championships.[3]

Returning to Canada in April 2024, Lowe and his teammates secured Nations Cup silver medals, losing out in the final to the Netherlands.[2][5][6]

On 24 June 2024, Lowe was named in the Great Britain team sprint line-up for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[7][8][9][10][11]
