Profile

Born in Ashford, Kent, Staff started in BMX when he was 9 years old, after seeing friends riding.^[2] A BMX rider who has won just about everything from the World Championships downwards, he decided at the end of that he wanted to win an Olympic medal.

As BMX was not an Olympic sport at the time, he turned his attention to track cycling.

He qualified for the GB Cycling Team at the first attempt. A natural competitor, he revels in the combative nature of the Sprint and the keirin, though his stand-out rides so far have been in the team sprint and the Kilo.

At the Commonwealth Games, he was a member of the silver medal-winning England team sprint trio, an impressive semi-finalist in the sprint (during which he broke the national m record) and the winner of a bronze in the Kilometer, behind GB team-mates Chris Hoy and Jason Queally.
