The cycling accident management company will put its name to the Scottish UCI Continental team from next season, in a deal both sides say is aimed at the development pathway for young women.
World championship bronze medallist Aalia Clay is one of four riders staying on, with three stepping up from youth racing. Team principal Ian Mansel-Thomas says UCI changes to the junior Nations Cup are behind a smaller squad.
The team that has won the women’s National Road Series team title in every edition since 2019 will not race at UCI Continental level in 2027, pointing to the rising cost of racing in Europe. Team OnForm, the development programme it grew from, will continue.
The south London club is recruiting a junior and under-23 women’s squad for 2027. The man leading it spent the summer analysing British Cycling results to work out what happens to female youth riders once they leave youth racing.
