Jessie Walker (born 20 September 1994) is an English professional racing cyclist.[1] After riding for the Matrix Fitness Pro Cycling team for four seasons, she joined the RST Racing Team in May 2015.[2][3] However, in June 2015 she joined Servetto Footon for the remainder of the 2015 season.[4] In October 2016 she announced that she would take a break from racing in the 2017 season after her time with Servetto Footon, which she described as "frustrating" and "demoralising" due to a lack of support from the team, stating that she had not been paid by them, and had depended on financial support from the Dave Rayner Fund.[5] After splitting from Servetto Footon, she joined Team WNT as soigneur for 2017, before moving on to studying art and design at the end of the season.[6][7]
