Ed's Profile
One of the most recent additions to the Great Britain Cycling Team Podium Potential Programme, Lincolnshire-born Ed Lowe has quickly made an impact with his presence in the squad, as the team look ahead to selection for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Growing up in Stamford in Lincolnshire, Lowe’s first experience of cycling came through the Fenland Clarion Cycling Club, where he developed a love of cycling.
One of the youngest members of the sprint podium programme, Lowe took part in his first elite level World Cup in Milton, Canada in 2023, alongside Harry Ledingham-Horn and Hayden Norris. The team secured a bronze medal, ahead of the home team.
In 2024, Lowe has been drafted into the team for two UCI Track World Cup rounds and has helped them to medals on both occasions. In Adelaide, Australia, the team of Lowe, Jack Carlin and Hamish Turnbull won bronze, beating China in the bronze-medal race. Most recently, the trio went one better in Milton, Canada, making it to the final where they just lost out to the ever-dominant Dutch. They took home a silver medal for their efforts, a significant achievement and a major confidence boost for Lowe ahead of the crucial selection decision for Paris, a decision which grows increasingly more difficult as the competitive squad vie for just three Olympic sprint places.
