**Stuart Dangerfield** (born 17 September 1971, and from [Willenhall](/source/Willenhall) in [Staffordshire](/source/Staffordshire), now the [West Midlands](/source/West_Midlands_(county))) is an [English](/source/England) retired [racing cyclist](/source/Racing_cyclist) who was prominent in [British](/source/United_Kingdom) [individual time trial](/source/Individual_time_trial) events during the 1990s and early 21st century. He was the British national time trial champion six times, jointly holding the record for most wins with [Alex Dowsett](/source/Alex_Dowsett).[1]

Dangerfield won his first [RTTC](/source/Cycling_Time_Trials) national time trial championship in 1992 in the hill-climb event - a victory he repeated in 1993, 1995, 1996 and 1997. In 1997, he was also a 25-mile (40-kilometre) time trial champion; he also won the event four consecutive times from 2000 to 2003. He won his first national 10-mile (16-kilometre) championship in 2001, with repeat victories in 2003 and 2004. In 2001 he broke 10 miles (16 km) competition record with a time of 18'19" (32.76 mph), knocking eight seconds off the previous record, set by [Graeme Obree](/source/Graeme_Obree) in 1993.

At world championship level, he has represented [Great Britain](/source/Great_Britain) in the individual time trial event at Holland 1998, [Brittany](/source/Brittany) 2000, [Portugal](/source/Portugal) 2001 and [Belgium](/source/Belgium) 2002. He also represented England at the [Commonwealth Games](/source/Commonwealth_Games) in [Canada](/source/Canada) 1994, [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia) 1998 and [Manchester](/source/Manchester) 2002.

Dangerfield was little known outside club cycling circles in Britain, having grown up in the shadow of firstly [Chris Boardman](/source/Chris_Boardman) and then [David Millar](/source/David_Millar). However, Millar's admission to using the illegal drug [EPO](/source/Erythropoietin) and consequent expulsion from the Great Britain squad for the [2004 Summer Olympics](/source/2004_Summer_Olympics) meant that Dangerfield was called up into the Olympic squad to race the time trial. An injury to GB cyclist [Jeremy Hunt](/source/Jeremy_Hunt_(cyclist)) also saw Dangerfield entered into the men's road race. Dangerfield finished 30th in the time trial, but did not finish the road race.[2]

At the Commonwealth Games in 2002 Dangerfield was disqualified for riding in the slipstream of a rider who had caught and passed him.[3]

Dangerfield retired from time trialling competition in 2009.[4]
