Elynor Backstedt was born to be a cyclist. Her Dad won the Paris-Roubaix classic, and picked up stage wins in the Giro D’Italia and Tour de France, while Mum, Megan, won the British road race title and competed for Wales at the Commonwealth Games. But as big an influence as they have been in her career, when she gets on the start line at the World Junior Championships in Switzerland later this month it will be the inspirational Geraint Thomas’ Tour de France victory that will be uppermost in her mind.
