Lewis Askey is one of cycling's top young talents with a plethora of results to his name. For many athletes a podium can symbolize the work, effort and resources that went into that event and is something to be seriously happy with. A podium is not a win, especially when trying to be the best around. Lewis Askey thinks along those lines!

With a serious, yet carefree manner, Lewis brings a wealth of talent and personality to NSN Cycling Team and compliments a very strong Classics squad, while still being able to ride with the best in stage racing.

From racing the club scene in the UK to the FDJ ecosystem and now NSN, Lewis grew up in the peak Wiggins cycling era and is one of Great Britain's coolest riders. We chat about building his career and finding his footing as a rider and person. Lewis also shares his thoughts on the importance of balancing cycling with other interests in life, the necessity of keeping cycling fun and enjoying what it has to offer, as well as how much the Wiggins boom truly impacted UK cycling and if the region needs a new landing spot for young British talent, as was seen in the Team Sky days.
