After the huge success of Rider of the Year 2025, BikeRadar, MBUK and Cycling Plus return, in partnership with bicycle accessories brand Lezyne, for a fourth edition of the coveted awards – and we want your nominations.
We’re asking you to submit your suggestions for each of the three mountain bike and road categories – Rider of the Year, Newcomer of the Year and Lifetime Achievement.
From your suggestions, our panel of expert judges will create a shortlist for Rider of the Year and Newcomer of the Year to be put to a public vote, while an expert panel from each brand will decide the Lifetime Achievement winners.
Winners will be announced at a live awards ceremony on Thursday, 26 November and online in news articles on Friday, 27 November. There'll be interviews with the winners in Cycling Plus issue 453 and MBUK issue 468.
You can submit your suggestions via the links below or the form until Sunday, 23 August.
