TAAP Racing have confirmed their roster for the 2026 season, marking the team’s 11th consecutive year in the domestic peloton. Now one of the longest-running National B outfits in the UK, the squad says its continued focus on sustainability and rider development has underpinned its longevity.
According to the team, their rider-led organisational model – with riders taking on key management roles – remains central to keeping the structure grounded and resilient. They say this approach has helped them navigate the volatility of the British road scene and maintain steady progress over more than a decade.
TAAP say they will once again run a broad and balanced calendar in 2026, covering the National Road and Circuit Series, alongside planned trips to Irish stage races and Belgian kermesses.

Several key riders return next season, including Cameron McLaren, who delivered one of the team’s standout results in 2025 with his victory on Stage 1 of the Totnes–Vire Stage Race.
The team also welcome six new additions for 2026, with Ash Hutchison (VC St. Raphael), Matthew Webber (Wolfox CAMS Le Col), James Bacon (Team MI Racing Townsend Vehicle Hire), Fergus Phelan (Wolfox CAMS Le Col), Matt Brown (University of Nottingham Cycling Club), and Matt Bottomley (Cowley Road Condors) joining the squad. TAAP say the mix of experience and new riders is important for their development-focused model.
There are a small number of departures, including two significant ones. Ollie Hucks, the team’s most consistent performer in recent seasons, moves to Foran CT for 2026, while promising under-23 Elliott Colyer leaves to establish his new team, Aero CLTCV, as previously reported by The British Continental.
