Riders
Tom Smith : “I am keen to get stuck in to the UCI races. I’m going to work hard for the team, and am eager to show what I can still do on the bike moving up to this level. It will be interesting to see how we all communicate, given the team has such a multitude of languages – I’ll have to brush up on my GCSE French!
Oliver Maxwell: “Very excited to be a part of this new professional cycling team. it will be my first professional team that I have joined. I can’t wait to get the race season started and to work with the whole team. ”
Owen James: “I’m really excited to be a part of this team. It has a great setup in terms of the vast experience of top level racing from the sports management team. It’s going to be great working with Yann Dejan and Benoit Salmon and being able to learn from them. Really happy to be signing my first pro contract with a team which has connections to my homeland Wales”
