context_page_description: Peter Kennaugh MBE is a Manx former professional racing cyclist, who most recently rode for UCI WorldTeam Bora–Hansgrohe. In 2012 he won the gold medal as part of the Great Britain Team Pursuit team at the 2012 Summer Olympics becoming the first Manxman in 100 years to win gold. On 5 April 2019, he announced that he was taking an indefinite break from professional cycling to focus on his mental health.
context_section_description: Kennaugh won the opening stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné after attacking on the final climb and  holding off the charging main field by two seconds on the descent into the finish in Albertville. Kennaugh lost the race lead after the team time trial on Stage 3, but then helped Chris Froome win the event overall.
  In June, he won the National Road Race Championships, distancing Mark Cavendish on the final cobbled climb and becoming the first rider to successfully defend the title since Roger Hammond in 2004. He was selected to ride the 2015 Tour de France, but struggled with illness and withdrew on Stage 16.
  In September, Kennaugh broke Chris Boardman's time trial record for the 37.73-mile (60.72-kilometre) Isle of Man TT Mountain Course by six seconds, riding a standard racing bicycle. Boardman had recorded a time of 1hr 23min 54secs in 1993, a time which would prove to be the longest standing cycling record on the Isle of Man, until it was beaten by Kennaugh.
