Red Walters is a cool dude. I noticed him a few years back while reading about U.K. road racing. I've followed Red ever since. When I see Red Walters I see the faces of Maurice Burton, David Clarke to Russell Williams. All black cyclists from the U.K. and extremely talented.

Walters earned a bike from his dad with good grades. Two weeks later he did his first race. He was restricted to the small chainring, got lapped twice and finished second to last. All that race did was fuel his fire to improve.

In 2018 Walters says he started to see a change in his riding. So, he deferred going to college and focused on cycling.

Since he has dual citizenship with Grenada, his mom is from the Caribbean country, he switched over and has been on a terror ever since. He's been the national champion in the road race and time trial in 2022.

Walters' first pro team was Vitus Pro Cycling 2019. The next year he raced with the top tier Hagens German Axeon team with the assistance of World Tour rider Tao Geoghegan Hart. In 2022 he switched to Ribble Weldtite Pro Cycling and for 2023 he will ride for Speed United Continental Team out of Belgium.
