The final UCI ProTeam is Q36.5 Pro Cycling, who enjoyed a spectacular debut in 2023, as Damien Howson came third overall, Mark Donovan took the Best British Rider honours, and the squad took the team classification award.
Home fans will have the chance to cheer on a Great Britain national team, plus British leading British teams and fan favourites Saint Piran and TRINITY Racing, both of whom have impressed with attacking performances in past editions of the Tour, and can be expected to take the fight to the higher ranked UCI WorldTour and ProTeams.
The Global 6 United team return for their fourth Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Men, being joined by four debutant UCI Continental teams, including the German REMBE Pro Cycling Team Sauerland squad, who have fan favourite and double Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Men King of the Mountains winner Jacob Scott (2019 & 2021) in their roster.
The French Van Rysel – Roubaix team, who have a history of one of the sport’s leading developers of talent; the Portugese Sabgal / Anicolor team; and the American Project Echeleon Racing squad, who have taken several victories in UCI stage races in North America this season round out the line-up of teams.
Commenting on the announcement, Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Race Director Rod Ellingworth said; “We are excited by the line-up of teams for this year’s Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain, and the combination of squads that will be lining up on 3 September. Many of the teams have enjoyed previous success with stage wins and overall victories in the race, while others making their debut will be keen to add their names to the Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Men roll of honour this year.
“We are sure that fans can look forward to six thrilling days of action, and we can’t wait to see all of the teams in action next month.”
Commenting on the team’s return to their home Tour, in which they have won 20 stages, INEOS Grenadiers CEO John Allert said; “We’re delighted to be lining up at this year’s Tour of Britain, and excited to get out there and thank our amazing home fans for their support.
“We’ll be racing through some of British cycling’s heartlands, through areas that have produced some of our greatest champions. With a number of British riders in our team, I’m sure we’ll give the home crowd plenty to cheer about.”
Richard Pascoe, owner of Saint Piran Pro Cycling, added: “The Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Men is deep in our psyche as a cycling nation. It shows how we can deal with adversity and success in equal measure. For Saint Piran, as a family we are aware we have less resources than other teams but it is a chance for us to show the millions of people watching what we can do and what we are about.”
“The Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Men is also about journeys – for the riders, the organisers and most importantly the fans. Last year we met thousands of people who had travelled to see their favourite rider or team. Given the teams that are riding this year, it looks to be a fantastic race for us all.”
More details on participating riders will be announced during the second half of August in the build up to the publication of the provisional rider list for the Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Men.
The Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Men begins in the Scottish Borders on Tuesday 3 September followed by stages in the Tees Valley, South Yorkshire, the East Midlands and West Northamptonshire, before concluding in Suffolk on Sunday 8 September after six stages of action-packed racing.
