Christopher Ryan Opie (born 22 July 1987) is a British cyclist and a contributor to the Global Cycling Network.
[5] He began cycling competitively at the age of 10 and progressed to lead the British National Junior RR Series in 2005.
[8] After Mansell decided to end his financial support of Team UK Youth, Opie signed for Rapha Condor–JLT for the 2014 season.
[10] Opie announced his retirement from competition in May 2018 immediately before his final race, the last round of that year's Tour Series in Salisbury.
[13] However the transition away from racing was not without difficulty and as Opie described himself, led to a minor breakdown suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
