Conor Dunne (born 22 January 1992) is an Irish former professional cyclist,[7] who competed professionally between 2014 and 2019 for the An Post–Chain Reaction, JLT–Condor, Aqua Blue Sport and Israel Cycling Academy teams.
Born in St Albans, Dunne was named in the startlist for the 2017 Vuelta a España.[8]
Following the collapse of the Aqua Blue Sport team, in November 2018 it emerged that Dunne would join the Israel Cycling Academy team for the 2019 season, with his salary being paid for by former Aqua Blue owner Rick Delaney due to Dunne signing a contract with the team for 2019 before it folded.[9] In May 2019, he was named in the startlist for the 2019 Giro d'Italia.[10]
On 30 December 2019, he announced on social media that he was retiring from professional cycling.[7]
On 7 January 2020, Global Cycling Network (GCN) announced him as a new presenter.[11]
On 2 May 2020 GCN's YouTube channel released a video where Dunne turned his garden into a Velodrome to create a Garden Hour Cycling Distance record with help from his brother-in-law Nigel. The distance covered was 16.3 kilometres (10.1 miles), which was listed as a new record (as there was no existing record in place). His maximum speed was 24.3 kilometres per hour (15.1 miles per hour).[12]
His sister is tennis player Katy Dunne.[13]
