The addition of new names to the Hall of Fame only occurs in Olympic years, and Dr Moncrieffe will join British world and Olympic champions on the selection body run by Britain's national cycling body British Cycling. The Hall of Fame seeks to recognise individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to British cycling over the last 60 years.
Dr Moncrieffe – Senior Lecturer in the School of Education - will draw on years of research into the often negative Black British experience in the sport to nominate outstanding Black British riders shut out of the country's Olympic triumphs, including Maurice Burton, Russell Williams and Charlie Reynolds. Some of the Black cyclists on the latest nominee list gained their place with support from a public petition led by Dr Moncrieffe, which gained over 5000 signatures.
