Kyle Evans (born 26 September 1993) is a British BMX rider from Hindley, Greater Manchester, who represents Great Britain in international competitions. He competed in the men's time trial event at the 2015 UCI BMX World Championships.[2]
Evans was selected for the British cycling team at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, competing in the men's BMX race.[3] After grabbing a twenty-first seed in the opening round with a time of 35.776, Evans scored a total of 19 placing points to take the penultimate spot against seven other riders in his quarter-final heat. He was thus eliminated from the tournament.[4][5] Evans made an appearance on the ‘Question of Sport’ episode that aired on 14 November 2018.[6] He acted as a batonbearer for the 2022 Commonwealth Games Queen's Baton Relay when the baton came to Kidsgrove.[7]
