Ewan Mackie

Ewan Mackie is a rising British elite road racer currently competing with The Leadout Academy in Belgium while also managing his own team. In 2025, he has raced a demanding calendar of UCI and national-level events across Europe. Alongside his racing, Ewan brings over two years of coaching experience, having successfully guided athletes aged 16 to 50 to podium finishes at national-level competitions.

His coaching blends technical development, race awareness, and performance-focused training with a personable approach that resonates with athletes serious about improving. While he has also worked with juniors making the step into national racing, his experience extends across all levels — from ambitious amateurs to racers aiming for the podium. Having lived the demands of racing himself, he understands the realities of building fitness under life stresses and helps athletes train with clarity, intent, and purpose. He also holds NSPCC and DBS certification for working with under-18 riders.

Jenny Holl MBE

We’re extremely privileged to be able to offer Jenny’s expertise to our riders.
Jenny is a decorated cyclist and former national track champion who transitions her elite racing experience into coaching for committed amateur riders. As well as a 6-time World Champion, she’s also the reigning Paralympic Champion in both the Women’s B Road Race and Individual Pursuit, adding silver and bronze medals in other events too. Her racing pedigree began early, she was Scotland’s youngest national champion in team pursuit (2018) and stands as a road world titleholder and frequent World Cup medallist.

Jenny brings that performance-minded edge to amateur and elite athletes alike, whether it’s preparing for events/races or simply improving training outcomes. She builds coaching plans rooted in structure, data, and real-life demands, drawing directly on her experience racing under pressure and executing at the highest level. Jenny’s experience as a world-class female cyclist gives her unique insight into the specific needs of women in the sport, making her an invaluable coach for female riders seeking expert guidance and support.
