We are really pleased to introduce Ian Mansel-Thomas as the latest of The British Continental’s 2026 journal contributors. Ian co-manages the junior super-team camsmajaco, and in his opening entry he examines how junior racing has come to resemble the WorldTour — and the rider-agent landgrab that now reaches under-16s.
We are really pleased to introduce Tizzie Robinson-Gordon as the latest of The British Continental’s 2026 journal contributors.

We are really pleased to introduce Hope Inglis as the first of The British Continental’s new journal contributors for 2026. In her opening entry, she makes the case for what road cycling might learn from its muddier cousins – and why a trip to Cannock Chase rekindled her love of racing.

After a year that began with illness and uncertainty, Mattie Dodd closes out his 2025 campaign with a wry, honest reflection on the road back to form. From the surreal pageantry of Austria’s King of the Lake to the heartbreak of a mistimed puncture in Italy, his latest journal captures the strange poetry of a rider rebuilding — one time trial, one near miss, and one hard-won dose of belief at a time.
