GWR TEAM ENJOY THE SUN

22nd December 2009 - filed under Teamsriders

GWR Team’s Under 23 riders have just returned from a week long training camp in Andalucia where they clocked up nearly 500 miles, including some monstrous climbs. The entire team will return in February for further warm-weather training in preparation for the 2010 season.

With two new rider signings and an ambitious plan for their racing programme, the 2010 season looks set to be one of continued growth for Swindon based GWR Team following a successful 2009. The GWR Team has increased its Under 23 roster to five as well as retaining three core senior riders to form an eight strong squad.

David Sinclair, Sam Reddings and Llewellyn Kinch are all set to return for 2010. New signing Doug Dewey joins the team having placed 3rd at the London Grand Prix, Totnes-Vire 2-day and Sigma Sport 3-day, plus a dominating solo victory at the Weston Super-Mare Criterium where he lapped the entire field, displaying his superb attacking qualities. The other new addition to the team is James Hawkins, a former triathlete who is turning his skills and focus to road racing for next year, having secured his 2nd category licence on a very limited race programme in 2009. He aims to represent GB at the World University Games in 2010.

Experienced Peter Kench, Nic Tilling and Dan Smith complete the line up for 2010 and will focus on the regional calendar while the Under 23 riders will focus on a national programme of events, with Premier Calendar and Elite Circuit Series high on their list of targets, along with some international races. The team are also hoping to gain selection for the televised Tour Series.

GWR Team will announce its full programme in the new year, followed by the team presentation in February. They will then embark on what promises to be the most exciting year yet for the already successful squad.
