Adam Blythe, 36, was born in Sheffield and raced from a young age with Sheffield Phoenix club. He enjoyed a decade-long professional career from 2010 to 2019, earning a reputation for his sprinting strength, sharp tactics and infectious personality. Racing for top teams including BMC Racing Team, Orica–GreenEdge, Tinkoff and Lotto-Soudal, he claimed standout victories including the 2014 RideLondon-Surrey Classic and the road race at the 2016 British National Road Race Championships.
Since retiring, Blythe has brought the same energy and insight to the commentary box, becoming a familiar face and voice for Eurosport and TNT Sports. Now, with his trademark humour and honesty, he reflects on life after racing, the pressures of punditry, and why cycling needs more flair, fun and individuality – on and off the bike.
