Jane Zoe Bäckstedt[3] (born 24 September 2004) is a Welsh professional racing cyclist riding for UCI Women's World Tour Team Canyon–SRAM, competing across road, cyclo-cross and track racing disciplines.[1][4]
At the 2021 UCI Road World Championships, Bäckstedt won the gold medal in the junior women's road race,[5][6] and silver in the junior women's time trial. A year later, she upgraded junior time-trial silver to gold, winning the event by over a minute and a half before successfully defending her road race title with a dominant solo victory, and her third road world championship at junior level.[7][8]
At the 2022 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships, Bäckstedt won a second world junior title, this time in the cyclo-cross discipline.
This completed a hat-trick of world titles across three different disciplines, having won the Madison at the 2022 UCI Junior Track Cycling World Championships. Bäckstedt is a three time European junior champion on the track and a junior and under-23 European cyclo-cross champion.
In 2022, at the age of 17, Bäckstedt signed with UCI Women's World Tour Team EF Education–Tibco–SVB[9]
In 2024, Bäckstedt won first place in the U23 Women's race at the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships.[10]
Bäckstedt's mother, Megan Hughes, and father, Magnus, are both former professional cyclists, and her sister Elynor also rides professionally.[11]
