David Daniell career profile

David Daniell is a product of British Cycling's talent-scouting process, having been spotted via BC's Go Ride scheme whilst still at school and fast-tracked for success in the track sprint disciplines.

Daniell soon proved his talent, with junior wins in the world (team sprint) and European (team sprint, kilo) track championships in 2006. In 2007, Daniell followed this with further gold medals as a junior at the worlds (team sprint), European championships (sprint) and British national championships (sprint and kilo).

Daniell's first big international victory as a senior came at the Manchester round of the 2008/09 World Cup when he scooped the kilo win with a blistering time of 1-01-996. Daniell was subsequently picked to ride for Team GB at the 2009 track world championships in Poland.

He came second in the Keirin in the 2010 Dehli Commonwealth Games, but has struggled to maintain a permanent foothold in the highly competitive GB sprint team.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
