Former pro cyclist, Manon Lloyd’s recent post about leaving the Global Cycling Network (GCN), has sparked questions about her next move.
Key Takeaways
- Manon Lloyd’s news about filming her last video with Global Cycling Network asked her fans to keep an eye on what she might do in the coming days.
- Considering her regular cycling-oriented training, Manon could also come back into her cycling career by participating in competitions.
Former road and track cyclist Manon Llyod rode professionally for UCI Women’s Team Drops in 2018 and 2019, representing Great Britain.
After joining the Global Cycling Network YouTube channel as a presenter back in 2019, Manon’s fans enjoyed her female-focused cyclist content.
However, after four and a half years of working with GCN as the tech presenter, Manon announced on her social media that she had filmed her last video for GCN.
She even asked her fans to keep an eye on what she was about to do next.
While it is clear she won’t be leaving the world of cycling, Manon did, in fact, leave viewers with a hint of curiosity.
Although her further plans have not been disclosed in the mainstream media yet, we can speculate about them based on all her achievements and works.
With a following of 110k on her Instagram, she posts regularly about cycling and her personal life.
Such a good following could help her gain paid partnerships in her expertise field or even create cycling content on a broader level.
Recently completing six weeks of Zone 2 training, which is training at less intensity and triggering more stimulus, Manon’s constant efforts for cycling are evidently backed up.
Knowing her continuous efforts to keep fit and her regular bike training, we can speculate that she will enter some sort of cycling event or competition or even start her own channel in the coming days.
Lloyd is a passionate cyclist. Hence, leaving GCN with new enthusiasm and dedication would allow her to explore her field further.
In Case You Didn’t Know
- As a junior, Manon started cycling with a local club, Towy Riders, in Wales.
- She represented Great Britain at international competitions, winning the bronze medal in the team pursuit at the 2016 UEC European Track Championships.
I’m sorry to see Manon go from the regular GCN lineup. She was one of my favorite presenters, combining both humor and keen insight into the world of cycling.
