Joe Truman
Track Sprint Coach Specialising in Keirin, Sprint, TT and Team Sprint
Cycling Career
Joe has long been a prominent and successful member of the Great Britain Cycling Team. Following the British Cycling pathway since a very early age, he became a full time cyclist in 2015 and has regularly featured in the Sprint, Keirin, Team Sprint and Kilo at multiple World championships, European Championships, Nation’s Cups and Commonwealth Games for Great Britain.
Alongside international racing, Joe also competed in two seasons of the prestigious Japanese Keirin circuit, featuring in the BBC documentary “The Secret World of Japanese Keirin Racing”. This experience reinforced his love of the Keirin as well as giving him a unique insight into the training methods and strategies used in an entirely different part of our sport.
