Lucy Garner (born 20 September 1994) is a British racing cyclist. She races professionally with Wiggle High5 and is a double junior world road race champion.

Early life and amateur career

Garner grew up in Cosby, Leicestershire. Her first cycling club was the Leicestershire Road Club.[3] Competing with them from 2004 to 2012, she won many National Awards from both the British Schools Cycling Association and British Cycling. She remained in full-time education until 2012, when she left Countesthorpe Community College having completed her AS-levels.[4]

Garner won her first junior world title at the 2011 road world championships in Copenhagen. She was part of a late six-woman breakaway from the peloton and won the race comfortably in a sprint for the line.[5] A year later, she retained her title in a bunch sprint finish of 19 riders at the championships in Valkenburg, Netherlands,[6] having had a lead-out from Elinor Barker.

Professional career

Garner signed a professional contract with UCI Women's Team Team Argos-Shimano in October 2012,[7][8] turning professional at the start of the 2013 season.[9][10] In May 2013, she claimed her first professional victory on the opening stage of the Tour of Chongming Island in Shanghai, China.[11] In September 2015 Garner announced she would be riding for Wiggle Honda in 2016[12]
