Throughout 2017, Tredell was an ever-present in the men’s eight, winning silver and bronze in the World Cup series and finishing seventh at the World Championships in Sarasota-Bradenton.

Beyond the Boat
Lance is a ‘self-confessed petrol head’ and is a big fan of motorsport; in another life he would love to be a formula one driver – given the chance he would swap places with Lewis Hamilton. Eminem, 2Pac and Biggie Smalls are his dream dinner party guests, and his go-to post race supper is steak, egg and chips.
A born entrepreneur, Lance started his own small business at the age of 12, trading electricals online.
