Neil Fachie

Neil is a para-cyclist who has often paired up with, One of two people, either Sarah Storey’s husband, Or Craig MacLean to pedal to gold, it’s his smith, Having been a track sprinter, built up his hand. Barney Storey has Type 1 diabetes from childhood, And the pair took gold in the World Championships, In 2009, both in the kilo and the sprint, both good, At the kilo where they set a new WR, took strips. Then in 2011 in the Italian Para-Cycling Track Worlds, Him and Craig won gold in both events, new WR, Then in LA with Barney again he won silver cords, And in London they won gold with another new WR. In 2014 Neil teamed up with Pete Mitchell in Mexico, Where they won gold in the 1 km tandem time trial, But he reunited with Craig for the games in Glasgow, Where they won gold for sprint and time trial, double. Neil is an MBE from 2013 and comes from Aberdeen, Was born with an eye condition, retinitis pigmentosa, He studied physics at the University of Aberdeen, lean, And was born on the 12th of March in 1984, a goer.
