Jonathan Clay, better known as Jonny Clay (born 26 June 1963)[1] is a British former professional cross-country, track and road racing cyclist. A silver medalist in the individual pursuit at the 1998 Commonwealth Games,[2] Clay was also part of the team pursuit line up which took the bronze medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.
After retiring from competitive cycling in 2000, he was appointed British Cycling’s Regional Talent Manager for the North East. In 2004 he took over management of the membership department before being appointed Cycle Sport and Membership Director of British Cycling in 2009.[3]
A winner of several Premier Calendar events, he now helps to organise some of the races.[4] Clay is also a committee member for the Dave Rayner fund, which assists young cyclists to race on the continent, and hopefully, turn professional.[5]
