Thomas Jake Stewart (born 2 October 1999, in Coventry) is a British racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI ProTeam Israel–Premier Tech.[8]

Career

Stewart was initially due to join Groupama–FDJ for the 2021 season – having signed a two-year contract in August 2020[9] – but he was promoted from the Groupama–FDJ Continental Team early, making his début at Gent–Wevelgem.[10] In 2021, he finished second at the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad.[11] The following season, he took his first pro win on stage one of the Tour de l'Ain and competed in his first Grand Tour: the Vuelta a España. In 2023, he finished in the top ten on two stages of the Giro d'Italia, before again winning the opening stage of the Tour de l'Ain.

In 2024, Stewart joined Israel–Premier Tech on a two-year contract.[12]
