Connor Swift is one of the rising stars of British cycling, which is a strange thing to say as he’s just spent a year in the national champ jersey. The 24-year-old utilised the strong domestic scene to hone his talent and grow as a cyclist, he was on the Madison Genesis team for 3 years, bringing them a huge amount of kudos after claiming the national title in June 2018. This allowed Connor the honour of wearing ‘that’ jersey for 12 months.

Ben Swift: “I’m no longer one of ‘The Young Guys’…”

Not so long ago Ben Swift was just another rider in the British development program. Early in the 2014 season, he’s winning alongside others who were part of the system that was managed by the likes of Rod Ellingworth. At the recent Coppi/Bartali Week, Swift picked up two wins on day one: a road stage, followed by a team time trial together with British Sky team-mate Peter Kennaugh who went on to win the overall title.
On the Milan-Sanremo Podium!

Kristoff was no surprise to us – especially with Paolini as his wingman; Cancellara – enough said.
But the man on the third step of the podium was a big – and it must be said, pleasant – surprise, Sky’s Ben Swift, back from the wilderness.
Last season was compromised by injury picked up in 2012 and subsequent surgery but there were green shoots of recovery to be seen at the start of this season – two podiums and a top ten in Nokere.

It was back in 2012 that Ben Swift last rode the track and it was such a memorable week at the World Championships with a rainbow jersey and two silver medals, that it’s taken him until 2014 to pin a number on and return to the track.

Team Sky’s British sprinting ace Ben Swift is on the road to recovery after an injury-disrupted 2013 season and cannot hide his delight at being back on the bike again.
The Yorkshireman suffered a knee injury when he crashed on the final day of the Mallorca Challenge in February, and his comeback was cut short when a long-standing shoulder injury forced him to curtail his season early in August.

When Team Sky line-up on the start line for this year's Milan-Sanremo, the first of the season's five 'monuments' of cycling, one rider from their classics squad will be watching the action from his sofa.
After being selected for the 10-man squad alongside Edvald Boasson Hagen, Bernhard Eisel, Mathew Hayman, Vasil Kiryienka, Salvatore Puccio, Gabriel Rasch, Luke Rowe, Kanstantsin Siutsou, Ian Stannard, Chris Sutton and Geraint Thomas, Yorkshireman Ben Swift was forced to cut short his time on Team Sky's recent training camp in Tenerife after an injury sustained during last month's Mallorca Challenge flared up to threaten his involvement in the spring classics.

Pretty much every possible tabloid pun on Ben Swift’s surname has already been done to death, so we’ll waste no time in getting to the meat of the story. The twenty-four year old has had an almost perfect career progression to date. Starring as an amateur with a string of results in Italy, Ben Swift moved on to Barloworld and then rode the Giro with Katusha, before joining the Team Sky juggernaut in 2010. He took a fistful of big wins in 2011, but what about 2012?

Winner of the King of the Mountains jersey in the 2007 Tour of Britain, Ben Swift spent last season as a stagaire for Barloworld. After finishing fourth in the Worlds road race (U23), he is hoping his pro career will take off in 2009 with his new team, Katusha.

How do you become a pro? If you’re lucky enough to have some talent and you’re born in England, then you might just end up taking the same road as 20 year-old Ben Swift; he’s won three U23 ‘biggies’ in Italy this season, so we thought we better have a word.
