Ollie Smith

Ollie Smith is BikeRadar’s road & gravel presenter. Since getting a job as a tea boy in his local bike shop aged 15, Ollie's lived and breathed cycling and has worked his way up through the ranks from bike shops to some of the biggest media companies in the industry – most recently working behind the scenes on the documentaries team at GCN+, followed by a year and a half freelancing as a scriptwriter, director, and producer working with teams like Lotto, UAE Emirates, and FDJ Suez, as well as producing Mitch Docker's 'Life In The Peloton' podcast. Ollie's tried his hand at most types of bike racing throughout his life with varying degrees of success. but his one true love will always be road racing. Outside of work, Ollie can be found tearing up whatever road or trail lies in front of him – from weeknight crits and grassroots road races to UCI gravel races in Europe and beyond, his ability is dwarfed by his enthusiasm and going as fast as possible.
