Biography
Hi!
My name is Finn Mansfield, I'm 20 and I race bikes at an Elite level for Clash Racing. I'm studying Medical Microbiology (basically bacteria and viruses) at the University of Bristol and have been racing bikes for about 10 years.
Cyclocross is my main sport and I have a long term goal of becoming a professional cyclocross athlete. This year, I'm targeting the Elite National Cyclocross series where I'm aiming for some top 10 results. I will also be racing a whole host of races over the summer, from Track racing for my university, to bike packing, gravel races and fixie crits.
Cycling isn't a very student friendly sport. Race entries alone can be £30-50 each, so its quite the expense if I'm racing all season long (over 20 races!). Thankfully, Joe Humphries have helped me towards the expense of bike racing which I'm really grateful for!
