JESSE YATES

Jesse’s Dad is legendary Tour de France cyclist Sean Yates so it is no surprise that he’s a natural on the bike.  Formally of Team Wiggins Jesse stopped riding
professionally a number of years ago but he’s still loves time in the saddle especially now he has discovered gravel. 
His time as a Reilly Ambassdor started in 2022 when he headed to Spain for Hutchinson Ranxo a 160 km gravel race across the barren landscape of the Pyrenees. 
“It’s like the Wild West out there, and it doesn’t take any prisoners. I signed up to the race because I like riding gravel and racing and the gravel aspect is a bit epic.”


“The Reilly Gradient T47 took a beating. Unlike carbon bikes, it’s bombproof, which is what you need when stones are flying everywhere.”

    "I was cooking out there for sure bro.
    This year opened up the taps a bit earlier with some more confidence.
    I went through the wire fence on the descent.
    At one point the side of the mountain looked tempting to just call it a day and end it!
    On the pedals pretty much all day, for what I lack in talent I make up for in blood and discipline."
