For Qhubeka NextHash rider Harry Tanfield, life as a pro – three years in the WorldTour to date – has been something of a rollercoaster ride, though one with its fair share of dips.

In 2019, the Briton saw his year with Katusha disrupted by a persistent knee injury before the team went bust. 2020 saw the COVID-19 coronavirus put a five-month gap in his sole season with AG2R, though a Grand Tour debut at the Vuelta a España was a high point. His 2021 season has seen him suffer from an ankle injury.
