for the Belizean politician see Michael Hutchinson (politician)

Michael Hutchinson (or "Hutch") (born 20 November 1973^[1] in Northern Ireland) is a British racing cyclist and writer who has represented Great Britain and Northern Ireland at events including the Commonwealth Games. His speciality is the individual time trial, but he has also won important races on the track.

He has made two unsuccessful attempts on the hour record, the first of which forms the basis of his 2006 book The Hour. This won the award for best new writer at the 2007 British Sports Book Awards.

In late 2006, he started writing for Cycling Weekly.

Previously, Pringle worked for the University of Brighton as a senior lecturer within the Chelsea School being involved in teaching and research activities^[3]. The physiology staff at the Chelsea School have included over the years such notable figures working in elite cycling such as Peter Keen (coach of Chris Boardman and now Performance Director to UK Sport), Gary Brickley (British Cycling Coach, Paralympic squad) and Helen Carter. Pringle is noted to also work with Julia Shaw, the British female time trial specialist ^[4].

Hutchinson has been sponsored by Specialized bikes since 2009 and Ultimate Sports Equipment^[5] since 2006.
