Biography

[edit]

Evans was born in 1990. Her parents are Malcolm and Ros Evans. Her mother is an international orienteer and fell runner who competed in cross-country skiing at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo.[4] Neah Evans lives in Cuminestown near Turriff. She and her parents live in Aberdeenshire in north-east Scotland.[5]

She worked as a veterinary surgeon before becoming a full-time athlete in 2017.[6] Evans raced in every round of the Revolution series as she helped Podium Ambition win the overall Elite women's title. Evans notably placed her team first in round three despite being on her own;[7] and beat Laura Kenny in the omnium event in London.[8] At the London 6 days event, Evans won one of the ten races to finish second in the women's omnium to Katie Archibald.[9][10] Evans was selected to represent Britain at the Cali World Cup event in 2017.[11]

At the opening round of the 2017–18 World Cup track series, Evans won the scratch race only to be relegated to fourth after being deemed to have gained an advantage by going on to the track's blue strip (côte d'azur).[12] Evans was part of the team pursuit that claimed the bronze medal in Pruszkow.[13] She also won a solo bronze medal for Scotland in the points race at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

Evans was chosen to be part of Team GB's cycling squad for the postponed 2020 Tokyo Olympics where she is joined by Katie Archibald, Elinor Barker, Laura Kenny and Josie Knight for the endurance races.[14] The team won the silver medal in the women's team pursuit event.

At the 2022 British National Track Championships in Newport, Wales she won two British titles after winning the pursuit and points events.[15] She subsequently won the British National Madison Championships with Laura Kenny in April.[16]

At the 2022 Commonwealth Games in July, Evans won points race silver and individual pursuit bronze.[17][18]

Evans won two more national titles at the 2023 British Cycling National Track Championships, bringing her total to 7, she won the individual pursuit for the second time and the points race for the third time.[19]

Personal life

[edit]

Evans' boyfriend is the cyclist Jonathan Wale.[5] One of her brothers, Donald Evans, won gold for Scotland at the 2014 Commonwealth Rowing Championships,[20] bronze for GB at the World University Rowing Championships,[21] and held an indoor rowing world record between 2016 and 2018.[22]
