Career
He spent three seasons riding for the WIGGINS team before joining ONE Pro Cycling for 2018.[2] Latham joined Vitus Pro Cycling Team p/b Brother UK for the 2019 season.[5] He remained with the team until the end of the 2020 season, when he joined SwiftCarbon Pro Cycling for the 2021 season.[6]
At the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, France, Latham represented Great Britain as he competed as the sighted pilot for Stephen Bate in the men's pursuit B. The pair set a new world record in qualifying to reach the gold medal final. However, previous world record holders Tristan Bangma and Patrick Bos of the Netherlands retook the world record in their qualifying run and went on to beat Bate and Latham in the final, meaning the British pair won a silver medal.[7]
At the 2025 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships, Latham piloted Stephen Bate to gold in the men’s tandem (B) individual pursuit, the final world title of Bate’s career and a landmark win for the British tandem. [8][9]
