Biography
editBlackmore finished third at the 2022 National Cyclo-Cross Championships.[5] He joined Team Inspired from ROTOR Race Team.[6]
In 2022, he was selected for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, where he competed in the men's mountain biking cross country and finished in 5th place, a result he counts as the best on his career. [3][5][7]
Blackmore took his first UCI Cyclo-cross win at Clanfield in the 2022-2023 season, beating national champion Thomas Mein in the process and finished 2nd in the National Cyclocross Championships, winning the U23 title. Despite racing lightly due to a busy Mountainbike schedule finished 8th in his only U23 World Cup race of the season in France.[8]
In 2024, Blackmore joined UCI Continental team Israel Premier Tech Academy, winning the Tour du Rwanda, Tour de Taiwan, Circuit des Ardennes and Liège–Bastogne–Liège Espoirs in the spring.[9] He also finished fourth in the Brabantse Pijl after helping leadout teammate Dylan Teuns.[10] After this success, he was promoted early to Israel–Premier Tech on May 3rd after the retirement of Rick Zabel opened up a spot on the team.[2]
