WHAT DOES PHIL BURT SAY?

PHIL BURT

Former Team Sky and GB bike fitter who has fitted elite cyclists including Bradley Wiggins, Victoria Pendleton, Chris Hoy, Chris Froome, and Grant Thomas

Phil Burt is the physio behind a generation of British Olympic gold medals and Tour de France wins. As Lead Physiotherapist at British Cycling and bike-fit lead at Team Sky during their dominant decade, he is the person riders went to when a knee, back, or saddle issue threatened a season. His Bike Fit book turned that clinical work into a manual that amateur fitters now use as a reference. For riders chasing a few more durable watts without injury, his approach — anchor the saddle, then the cleat, then the cockpit, and never optimise aero at the expense of physiology — is the modern gold standard.
