Following the travel restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Stewart based himself in New Zealand,[9] having been in the country to visit his partner Emma Cumming,[10] following the 2020 UCI Track Cycling World Championships held in Germany.

At the Track Championships, Stewart won a gold medal in the omnium, and a silver medal with Adrian Hegyvary in the madison; he also won a silver medal in the road race at the Road Championships, finishing behind George Bennett.[11][12]
