Career

[edit]

He was announced as part of the An Post–Chain Reaction team's squad for the 2017 season.[7] In November 2018 it was announced that he would ride for Ribble Pro Cycling in the 2019 season.[8]

Following the travel restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Stewart based himself in New Zealand,[9] having been in the country to visit his partner Emma Cumming,[10] following the 2020 UCI Track Cycling World Championships held in Germany. Due to this, Stewart competed in both the New Zealand National Track Championships in December 2020, and the New Zealand National Road Championships in February 2021. At the Track Championships, Stewart won a gold medal in the omnium, and a silver medal with Adrian Hegyvary in the madison; he also won a silver medal in the road race at the Road Championships, finishing behind George Bennett.[11][12]

Stewart's 2022 season, with his new team Bolton Equities Black Spoke Pro Cycling, started with the New Zealand Cycle Classic where the team won the first stage a Team time trial by 22 seconds.[13] Teammate Regan Gough held yellow going into Stage 2 where a group of 13 riders got an advantage of 15 minutes on the peloton Stewart was part of this group. By finishing second on the stage he moved in to the lead of the General classification.[14] He managed to hold the lead all the way to the end even taking a greater lead overall by winning the uphill finish in stage 4.[15] Stewart won the tour overall to win his first Stage race.[16][17] In April 2022, Stewart won the British National Madison Championships with William Perrett.[18]

On 4 July 2024, Stewart was name the travelling reserve on the Team GB men's track endurance squad for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.[19] He raced in the first two rounds of the team pursuit competition alongside Ethan Hayter, Ethan Vernon, Charlie Tanfield and Ollie Wood, together winning a silver medal. In the madison he took the place of Hayter, who had withdrawn due to a thigh strain suffered in the team pursuit.[20] Stewart partnered Wood, with whom he had medalled in the madison at the 2023 World Championships. They finished ninth after a difficult race in which Wood had a heavy crash that the Netherlands were later disqualified for.[20][21]

In the 2025 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, Stewart won a silver medal in the madison partnering Josh Tarling.[22]
