Wilfred Njuguna

When it comes to racing, Wilfred Njuguna has the know-how to keep his rivals behind him. 

Wilfred has been racing BMX bikes since he was 11, rising to become British youth champion three years in a row. It was a sweet victory for the Nottingham-based rider who had been pipped to the title a year earlier. 

In his teens, Wilfred progressed to become European number seven and was enrolled into the Olympic development programme – the first Nottingham BMX club rider to reach such heights. On his campaigns, he regularly competed against Tre Whyte’s brother Kye and the friendship with the Whyte family goes back over a decade. 

He was eager to get back to racing as his BMX days came to an end when he started a four-year course of mechanical engineering at Leicester University. Since finishing his studies he has worked at a construction company specialising in water management and became one of our first eSC riders.

Since his first eSC season, he has been recovering from a back injury but has been involved in a bit of coaching and has continued to support his friend Kye compete in the Paris Olympics. 

For his second season, Wilfred will ride for eSC fan-owned team, Racing Citizens, where his strong sense of community will be reflected and nourished by our amazing fans.
