Who's your Rider of the Year? Is it the mountain bike racer turning heads on the trails this season, the multi-day gravel adventurer achieving great feats or your favourite YouTube star who makes you want to get out riding? Perhaps it's one of the unsung heroes of the sport, or a community or club champion who puts in the work to make things better for everyone.
Whatever your answer, our colleagues on Mountain Biking UK and Cycling Plus are asking that very question and want to hear from you as they launch their new Rider of the Year awards for 2023, sponsored by Lezyne.
The vote closes Friday 13 October, so be sure to cast your vote before then in one or all of the categories below…

The recipients of the MBUK and Cycling Plus Lifetime Achievement Awards will be decided by our expert panel.
Winners will be revealed at an exclusive ceremony in November held at the Bristol head office of BikeRadar, Cycling Plus and MBUK, supported by Wiper and True brewery, and in the December issue of the magazines.
James Costley-White, MBUK editor, says: “We’ll be looking to celebrate those riders who have made a significant contribution to the MTB scene this year, whether they’ve been reaching the top of the podium, doing remarkable work in their community to get riders into mountain biking or have broken through in a spectacular way!”
Use the hashtag #rideroftheyear2023 to tell us who you think should win.
