Neah Evans
Neah Evans is a Scottish professional racing cyclist specialising in track endurance events with Olympic and Commonwealth Games medals to her name. In 2022 she was the World Champion and in her career she achieved over 30 podium finishes.
Neah started relatively late in the world of cycling. She won five medals at the 2017 National Track Championships while still working full-time as a vet. Aged 27, she then decided to commit to being a full-time athlete.
The decision proved to be a fruitful one when, the following year in 2018, she made an amazing Commonwealth Games debut on the Gold Coast, Australia, winning silver and bronze medals in track races.
She has represented Great Britain at the Olympic Games, European Championships and World Championships, and raced for Scotland at the Commonwealth Games.
Evans is an Olympic medallist in the team pursuit, a World points race champion, a six-time European champion in team pursuit, individual pursuit and the madison, and a Commonwealth Games medallist.
