One of the fastest XC riders this country has yet produced with a good few medals to his name, Oli has been in the sport racing at a competitive level for 10 years. He’s signed up to ride with the Giant squad again this year, with Schwalbe, Aquanought, Sram and No Tubes supporting him also.

Commenting on entering his tenth year, Oli said: “I’m looking to step it up over the next couple of years. The main goals being the World Champs in Fort William this year and of course the Olympics in 2008.”

And to keep everybody updated with his progress and find out a little about the man, he’s gone and setup a brand new website. Packed with a diary, race calendar, details of his bikes, gallery and more, head over to www.olibeck.com
