Superb team performance yesterday at the @tourofthereservoir . Plan executed to perfection, utilise numbers, terrain and wind to create early break. Control break and win the race, mission accomplished. Superb from everyone, three in the break, win for Kate and Arianne QOM.

We’ve got a packed racing schedule this year!
Here’s what’s in store for March:

That's the first team camp of the season completed, one of the few times in a season we get everyone together in the same place. Whilst the on bike work is critically important and achieved all of our objectives, having everyone together to get to know each other, work on building a strong team ethos and having some fun, is just as important. We now move into the 2026 race calendar with a very focussed and cohesive team and we are very excited for what’s to come. This season’s programme is our biggest and most ambitious yet:

65 Races
Over 100 race days
13 countries

Racing starts later this month with the British Track Championships and then on to our first race block in Belgium and Italy. Follow the team on social media for full race details and come and say hello if you are at any of our races - home or abroad.

@ElisaLongoB is spot on here, financial pressures make things very precarious at Continental level. It is getting more and more difficult to realise ever increasing budget requirements in order to develop and deliver the likes of Lauren Dickson to @FDJ_SUEZ and Eilidh Shaw to @UAETeamADQ. Everything is very precarious with a very unstable foundation, the whole house of cards may come tumbling down.
