Mark Stewart (born 25 August 1995) is a Scottish road and track cyclist, who currently rides for UCI Continental team Ribble Weldtite.[2] Representing Great Britain and Scotland at international competitions, Stewart won the bronze medal at the 2016 UEC European Track Championships in the team pursuit.[3]

Career[]

He was announced as part of the An Post–Chain Reaction team's squad for the 2017 season.[4] In November 2018 it was announced that he would ride for Ribble Pro Cycling in the 2019 season.[5]

Following the travel restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Stewart based himself in New Zealand,[6] having been in the country to visit his partner Emma Cumming,[7] following the 2020 UCI Track Cycling World Championships held in Germany. Due to this, Stewart competed in both the New Zealand National Track Championships in December 2020, and the New Zealand National Road Championships in February 2021. At the Track Championships, Stewart won a gold medal in the omnium, and a silver medal with Adrian Hegyvary in the madison; he also won a silver medal in the road race at the Road Championships, finishing behind George Bennett.[8][9]
