Ed Clancy career profile
Clancy’s speciality is the team pursuit; winning gold medals in the discipline at European, World and now Olympic level.Clancy’s early career has been defined by an incredible success rate on the track but he is also a professional on the road. At the age of 23, Clancy has a promising career ahead of him.
Clancy proved himself to be one of the world's finest pursuit riders in 2008. The Barnsley rider was part of the unstoppable team pursuit squad that won gold medals at the World Championships, the Olympics and finally the Manchester round of the World Cup. A fine team pursuiter, Clancy also demonstrated his solo potential, with his first individual pursuit medal at the World Cup in Manchester.
After focusing almost his entire 2008 season around the Beijing Olympics, he will now return his attention to the road. After spending 2008 with the Belgian Landbouwkrediet team, Clancy will ride in the UK once again, this time for the Halfords Bikehut team.
