Career
Born in Rossington, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, Briggs initially played football as a youngster before switching to cycling, initially off-road as a cyclo-cross rider and then the discipline of mountain biking, until the foot and mouth crisis of 2001. He competed for Great Britain in the Under-23 road race at the 2003 UCI Road World Championships in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.[3] The majority of his road racing career has been spent in city centre competitions leading to successes in the Elite Circuit Race Series in recent years.
Briggs is classed as a sprinter and was the winner of the British National Circuit Race Championships in 2011.
Briggs left Team Raleigh at the end of the 2013 season and joined Rapha Condor–JLT for the 2014 season; his third spell with the latter squad.[1]
Graham Briggs is a co-founder of the Clancy Briggs Cycling Academy with the mission "to move a generation of children, putting the bicycle back at the heart of childhood play, forming lifelong habits that will deliver benefits for health and the environment for years to come."[4]
