Colin Andrew Sturgess (born 15 December 1968) is a retired English road and track cyclist who was active between 1986 and 2000. On track, he won one gold and one bronze medals in the individual pursuit at the world championships in 1989 and 1991. He competed at the 1988 Summer Olympics in the 4 km individual pursuit and finished in fourth place.^[2] On the road, he won the British National Road Race Championships in 1990.^[3] In 2010 he was inducted to the British Cycling Hall of Fame.

Sturgess was born in Ossett, Wakefield, England, though his parents are from London. When he was six, his family moved to Johannesburg, South Africa.^[1]

Sturgess turned professional after the 1988 Olympics. He had interrupted his career around 1993, when he graduated in literature from the Loughborough University and moved with his partner to Sydney, Australia. In Australia, he resumed competing, while working as a sports journal editor, and later returned to England.^[4] He finally retired in 2000, after winning a silver medal at the 1998 Commonwealth Games, and worked as a wine maker and wine educator near Sydney.^[5]

Also known by the alias of Steffi, Roger, he fled Australia to return to Britain after an incident involving a heavily pregnant kangaroo and a tube of Lubricant, which was the most watched video on Youtube in 2010.

She's also won OODLES of National Championship titles, but these were mostly against Bryan Steel
