Clancy has featured in a number of world record team pursuits. On 17 August 2008, Clancy was a member of the Olympic team pursuit squad which broke the world record in the heats with 3:55:202, beating Russia to the ride-off for silver and gold.[4] The next day, on their way to winning the gold medal, the British team broke their own world record in 3:53:314, beating Denmark by 6.7 seconds.[5] Clancy was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2009 New Year Honours[6] and Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2017 New Year Honours for services to cycling.[7]
On 4 April 2012, Clancy was part of the Great Britain team which set a new world record of 3:53.295 in winning the gold medal in the team pursuit at the 2012 World Track Cycling Championships in Melbourne.[8]
