Rob Hayles is the
three time Olympic medalist and double Track World Champion and is one of the
most experienced and well respected riders in British cycling. Best known for his endeavours in the Team
Pursuit and Madison events Rob has been an
integral feature in a ‘golden era’ for cycling helping to develop the careers
of Mark Cavendish amongst others.
Rob’s
track cycling career saw him develop from a young 1km specialist into a key cog
in the endurance team of the British Track Cycling Machine that dominated the
sport between 2000 - 2008. Rob established himself within international cycling
by winning Silver in the team pursuit and Bronze in the individual pursuit at
the 2000 Track World Championships in Manchester. Several more titles followed
including medals at consecutive Olympic Games. Finally, Rob stood on the top
step at the Commonwealth Games in 2006 where he took Gold in the Team Pursuit.
Alongside his track success Rob has ridden for a number of professional road
teams both in the UK and on the continent and currently competes for the
Scottish set-up Endura Racing.
As
one of the most likeable and passionate bike racers in Britain, Rob has made
the natural progression into the media spotlight with commentary positions on
the BBC and British Eurosport, working on all the major cycling events
including the Tour de France, Track cycling, BMX and Mountain bike. Rob’s
enthusiasm and experience make him an ideal candidate for corporate speaking
events, where we is able to translate his understanding of team-work, tactics
and success from cycling into a business environment.
