Biography

Born in Wellington, New Zealand, McLay moved to the UK as a young infant and was brought up in Leicester. McLay began cycling competitively at the age of six. Following his success as under 16 rider at the British National Track Championships, he represented Great Britain at the 2007 European Youth Olympic Festival,^[1] competing in the criterium and road race events.^[2] He says ^[3] that he was not very good at sports that require coordination as a school-boy and thus this fuelled his desire to continue competing in cycling.

McLay was selected to represent Britain at the Junior European Cyclo-cross Championships in 2008, where he finished last.^[4]

In 2009, McLay became a member of British Cycling's Olympic Academy.^[5] McLay went on to win the bronze medal in the Madison at the European Track Championships with partner Sam Harrison. He also represented Great Britain at the 2009 Junior UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships.

In 2010 he became World Champion in the Junior World Madison Track Championships (with Simon Yates)).

In 2014 he won a stage of the Tour de l'Avenir, commonly coined as The Tour of the Future. He also came seventh in Tour of Britain stages, a strong showing given that sprinters such as Mark Cavendish, Marcel Kittel, Mark Renshaw and Adam Blythe were also competing. But, he says, seventh was not a representation of what he could have achieved.

He signed for the Bretagne-Séché Environnement professional continental team for the 2015 season.^[6] He won his first professional victory in Stage 3 of the 2015 La Tropicale Amissa Bongo.^[7] In the first UCI World Tour race of his career, the 2015 Paris–Nice, McLay came eighth in stage 5.^[8]
