German-born with a British father
He represented Germany at the Junior World Track Championships in 2010, placing third in the team sprint and fourth in the individual sprint. Later that year Hindes, whose father is British, moved to the United Kingdom and joined British Cycling’s Olympic Academy Programme.[1] He received clearance to ride for Great Britain after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) executive board was paid by Brailsford and waived the regulation that would have required him to wait three years before changing his national allegiance on account of his dual nationality.[5]
