Over 15 years after retiring as a competitive cyclist, Alex Greenfield is returning to the Great Britain Cycling Team as Performance Pathway Manager. She brings more than 13 years of experience in cycling development to the role.
Greenfield has worked extensively in rider coaching and development internationally, holding positions with cycling bodies in Wales, New Zealand, and Australia. Most recently, she served as Head of Sport for Uno–X Mobility Cycling, where she led the women’s team to its first World Tour victory and a top–10 ranking.
She also has first-hand experience as a developing rider within the Great Britain Cycling Team (GBCT) programme. Between 2007–2009, she was part of the world class programme and won three junior European track titles.
Alex Greenfield 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.”
Stephen Park CBE, Performance Director at the Great Britain Cycling Team 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.”
The GBCT performance pathway saw significant success during the 2025 season. Highlights included five gold, two silver, and two bronze medals at the UCI Junior World Track Championships. On the road, Zoe Backstedt won her first under-23 women’s time-trial, while Harry Hudson became the first British junior men’s road race champion at the UCI Road World Championships. In BMX Racing, Elsa Rendall-Todd secured a silver medal, her first junior world championships medal.
Stephen Park CBE added “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.”
British Cycling is the national governing body for cycling in Great Britain, overseeing the sport from grassroots participation to the elite international stage. The organisation supports 145,000 members, 2,000 affiliated clubs, and 12,500 volunteers.
