Evie Richards

Richards comes from Malvern and attended The Chase School.^[2] She first rode for T-Mo Racing.^[3] She is a member of the British Cycling Olympic Senior Academy.

She took the silver medal position in the junior cross-country race at the 2015 mountain bike World Championships, held in Vallnoord, Andorra in September 2015.^[4][5]

Prior to 2016 under-23 cyclo-cross events were only held for male competitors, Richards therefore raced in the elite category. After the introduction of under-23 events, Richards won the first three editions (2016, 2017, 2018) of the British National Cyclo-cross Championships.^[3] In addition, she was 7th in the women's elite category and 2nd in the junior category in the British national cyclo-cross championships in 2015.^[6]

On 30 January 2016, Richards won the first ever women's U23 competition at the cyclo-cross world championships in Zolder, Belgium. She broke away in the first lap and finished the race 35 seconds ahead of the second-placed rider, Nikola Noskova.^[7] It was the first cyclo-cross race Richards had taken part in outside the UK.^[8]

Richards was chosen to be part of the UK's cycling squad at the postponed 2020 Tokyo Olympics where she achieved a 7th-place finish.^[9]
