This is a non-commerical web-site to showcase the cycling achievements of Chris Newton from Stockton-on-Tees in the North-East of England. Please note that nearly all photos and race articles presented on this site have been sourced from various magazines and web sites - most notably with thanks to Snowdon Sports, Cycling Weekly, CyclingNews and the British Cycling web site (special note of thanks to webmaster Larry Hickmott).

Chris Newton is one of the United Kingdom's best ever international riders both on the road and track. The former World Track Champion in the Points Race and in the Team Pursuit, Chris is the first ever British and English speaking (first language) rider to win the points title, a remarkable achievement.

An integral member of the very successful British Team Pursuit squad he won a Silver medal at the Athens Olympics, a Bronze medal at Sydney and a host of other medals at World Championship level. This makes him only the second British rider at senior elite level to have claimed, Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in contemporary World Track Championships. (Other than in one event).

Although Chris has never joined a major continental team he has frequently beaten some of the world's top professional riders whilst racing for the Great Britain team, including two victories in the Irish Ras stage race (2003 and 2005) and the prestigious "Circuit des Mines" stage race in 2001. Whilst winning this established French stage race he beat some of the best young and more experienced professional riders on the European scene and in very convincing fashion, leaving no doubt of his special talent.

Add to that many other overall and stage victories in International events and the winner of most of Great Britain's biggest races on the road and track. Chris has also been National Champion in most of the major cycle racing disciplines, i.e. Road, Time Trials and Track and recently started riding in the highly competitive SIX DAY circuit. This gives you some idea of his top class all round abilities.

Chris Newton's reputation as one the UK's finest racing cyclists has of course been reinforced by his two World titles and 2 Olympic medals and his position as one of the highest profile riders in British Cycling is without question.

Chris has had significant experience in Media work and is spending much of his time promoting cycle racing in the UK when he is not on international duty.
