ALEX GREENFIELD RETURNS TO BRITISH CYCLING TO LEAD PERFORMANCE PATHWAY
Over 15 years after hanging up her bike as a competitive cyclist, Alex Greenfield is set to return to the Great Britain Cycling Team in the role of Performance Pathway Manager, bringing with her over 13 years’ experience in the cycling development space.
Over this time, Greenfield has worked extensively in rider coaching and development, gaining experience across the globe through roles within cycling bodies in Wales, New Zealand and Australia. Most recently, Greenfield was Head of Sport for Uno-X Mobility Cycling, where she led the Women’s Team to their first World-Tour victory and top-10 Ranking.
On top of this, Greenfield brings with her first-hand experience of being a developing rider within Britain’s most successful Olympic and Paralympic team, having been on the world class programme between 2007 and 2009 during which time she won three junior European track titles.
On joining the Great Britian Cycling Team, Alex said:
“I’m thrilled to be returning to British Cycling. In many ways, it feels like coming home; this is where my journey began as a young athlete. Having had the privilege of working with world-class athletes and performance programmes globally, I’m eager to channel that experience back into the team. My focus is to build upon the existing success of the Performance Pathway and help drive the next generation of British talent.”
Great Britain Cycling Team’s Performance Director, Stephen Park CBE said:
“For over 20 years, the GBCT Performance Pathway has been nurturing and developing bright young talent to success on the bike, as well as equipping them with the skills and confidence to excel beyond their time on our programme.
“Alex is a shining example of this and it’s fantastic to be able to ‘welcome her home’, so to speak, where she will be able to bring her experience to impact the developing young riders of the future.
“This is a really exciting time for Alex to join the pathway as some of our younger riders grab their opportunity to step up and prove themselves on the elite international stage, while so much talent is still to be developed for Brisbane and beyond; we can’t wait to have Alex on board.”
2025 saw some impressive results from across the pathway, with riders winning five gold, two bronze and two silver medals at the UCI Junior World Track Championships,
On the road, Zoe Backstedt won her first under-23 women’s time-trial race, while debutant Harry Hudson became the first British junior men’s road race champion ever at the UCI Road World Championships. In BMX Racing, Elsa Rendall-Todd took her first world championships medal in the junior category; a silver.
