Our Riders

This is the team line up for 2025 - 26.

In the 2025 -26 season the team will support four riders, all first year riders in either junior or U23.  All riders are podium potential in cyclocross at a UK national level, with a team structure and support to help them develop international success.  We take a long term view on rider progression and plan to support riders as they mature and fully develop; we are looking for great minds and not simply well developed and well trained young athletes.

The team will also invite guest riders on some trips in this CX season.  Please make contact if interested.

For the 2026 - 27 season we plan to expand to a maximum of ten riders.  Applications for the 2026 - 27 season will open in December 2025 on this page but if interested, please come along and have a chat when you see us at a race.

Ellie Mitchinson

1st Year Under 23 originally from Welwyn Wheelers (Youth Cycling Club), and now transitioning from Brother UK – On Form (road team)

"I am super excited to race with the team this cross season, can't wait to get stuck back in to racing on the continent. If I'm not racing, you'll find me cow spotting on training rides and if I'm not riding bikes, I'll be watching a west end musical or reading! DM me if you're a singing cycling cowboy farmer."

"I'm passionate about CX and super excited to be joining the team. I've been telling Simon that I will be in his team since I was ten years old, and even that threat hasn't stopped him running a team! I can't wait to take this next step in my cycling career with the team's incredible support. Andiamo!"

"When I'm not in the hospital and on crutches, I enjoy racing and riding my bike. My main goal this season is to convince my parents we need a dachshund, but my other slightly more important goal is to get back riding on my cx bike and enjoy the upcoming season."

Isla Pattinson

1st Year Junior moving from Solent Pirates Youth Cycling Club.

"My aim this season is to get as many days as possible off school by racing lots of iconic courses and I believe the best conditions are the ones where the pit crew finish in a worse state than the riders! Really excited about a season getting great experience at European races."
