Career

Aged 12, Burrow started racing in time trials, encouraged by his parents who were both racing cyclists. In 1996, aged 19, Burrow left the UK to race full-time as an amateur in France. He then went to Italy to become a professional cyclist.^[1]

In 1999, Burrow won the Under-23 World Cup and soon after signed his first professional contract with the U.S. Postal Service Pro Cycling Team.^[1] Burrow has expressed regret about this decision, saying he picked the wrong team and his career may have taken a different direction with another team.^[2]

In 2002, Burrow stepped down a division and signed with Amore & Vita. Here, he had an increase in race days but the race programme didn't suit him, as there were a lot of one day races in Italy rather than mountainous stage races.^[2]

In 2006, Burrow signed his final professional contract with OTC Doors–Lauretana, where his biggest result was finishing 7th overall in the Brixia Tour. After his professional career finished, Burrow participated in Gran Fondos as a way of making a living.^[2]
