Yvonne McGregor MBE (born 9 April 1961)[1][2] is an English former professional cyclist from Wibsey. She was made an MBE, for services to cycling, in the 2002 New Year Honours.[3]


McGregor competed in running until the age of 28, coming eighth at the 1988 world fell running championship, and did not ride a bicycle until she was 17. She started cycling competitively in triathlon,[4] finishing third in the British championship in 1990,[5] and focused on it when she injured her Achilles tendon.[4] In 1993 she broke Beryl Burton's 20-year-old British 1- mile time-trial record with 21 minutes 15 seconds.[6] She scored her first major success when she won the points race at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Canada.[6]


On 17 June 1995 in Manchester she set an hour record for women at 47.411 km.[7] McGregor broke Burton's 25-mile time-trial record in 1996, setting 51 minutes 30 seconds.[6] She missed out on a medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, finishing fourth in the pursuit. However she took the bronze in the same event at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, and won the pursuit at the 2000 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Manchester less than two months later.[6]


Following changes to the hour record which disallowed the bike and position she used to set the record in 1995, McGregor set a European and sea-level hour record of 43.689 km on 13 April 2002.[8] This remained the British record until Sarah Storey surpassed it in 2015. This ended McGregor's competitive cycling career. Since retiring she has worked as a sports massage therapist.[4]
