Fensham Howes-MAS Design-CAMS has announced its six-rider roster for the 2025 season, continuing its mission to support Britain’s most talented 16- and 17-year-old male cyclists as they transition from youth racing to development pathways within professional cycling.
Founded in 2019, the team has become one of the UK’s leading junior outfits and is well-regarded on the international stage. Operating independently of any WorldTour team, Fensham Howes remains entirely volunteer-run, with staff dedicating their time to guide and support the sport’s future stars. The team’s success in nurturing young talent is reflected in the professional careers of its alumni, including Sam Watson (Ineos Grenadiers), Bob Donaldson (Jayco AlUla), and Max Poole (Team DSM–Firmenich PostNL).
The team’s success continued in 2024 with significant victories: Sebastian Grindley triumphed at the Danilith Nokere Koerse Juniors in March, claimed a stage win at the Sint Martinusprijs Kontich in July, and secured overall victory at the Junior Tour of Wales. Additionally, Oliver Dawson captured the Junior National Championships Road Race title in June.
The 2025 line-up features a mix of returning riders and promising recruits: Luca Bednarek, Max Hinds, and Harrison Dainty are returning for a second season; Henry Hobbs and Seth Jackson transfer from Willebrord Wil Vooruit Juniors; and Leon Atkins signs from 258 Protégé.
Five riders are leaving the team as they reach the end of their eligibility in the junior category: Seb Grindley, Elliot Rowe, Toby Bush, Joe Cosgrove, and Oliver Dawson. Grindley moves to Lidl-Trek Future Racing, and Rowe joins Team Visma | Lease a Bike Development Team, while Bush, Cosgrove, and Dawson close out their time in junior racing, their next steps yet to be confirmed.
The team’s 2025 campaign will begin with the U19 Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne Classic in Belgium, a key fixture in the junior racing calendar. Team Manager Giles Pidcock is optimistic about the group’s potential.
“We’re really happy to have brought this group of young riders together,” said Pidcock. “We now have a national champion, a world champion, and between them, a team that can be making the racing wherever they go. We are looking forward to going wheel-to-wheel with the WorldTour development teams, their money, and their expertise. We’ll be bringing talent, great bikes, determination, and a sense of adventure.”
The team’s title sponsors – Fensham Howes, MAS Design and CAMS – remain committed for the upcoming season, underlining the programme’s consistent success and appeal.
