Mountain Bike Personality Of The Year – Singletrack Reader Awards 2018 Finalists

This is a hard one. What is a personality? Is it someone you’d like to have dinner with, because you know it would be entertaining? Is it someone you admire? Is it someone who has loads of Instagram followers? Or someone who’s put something into the sport? Maybe it’s all these things and more, maybe it’s a magic mixture of them all. Here’s who has been nominated for your vote, and why:

We first met Evie Richards three short years ago when she was still at school and being mentored by Liam Killeen and Tracy Moseley. Since then, she’s gone on to a full pro contract with Trek, and has two U23 cyclocross World Championship titles, a silver Commonwealth Games mountain bike medal and has been British U23 mountain bike champion for three years in a row. Watch out world!

Lee Craigie

Lee Craigie is a busy woman. Whether it’s been racing the Commonwealth Games in her home country of Scotland, running the Adventure Syndicate, inspiring riders around the world, doing lecture tours about her adventures, organising the Man of Porage event, smashing the Highland Trail 550 or the Great Divide, it seems she never stops. It also seems that she hasn’t even started yet…

Tracy Moseley was supposed to have retired from racing, but she still seems to have time among her busy family life to win this year’s Ard Rock Enduro, all while mentoring upcoming stars like Hattie Harnden and Evie Richards and inspiring riders everywhere. And before that she convincingly won the Enduro World Series. And before that she was a downhill World Champion. Do we need to go on?

Mark Alker

Singletrack Owner/Publisher

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.
