Team News: UK Youth & Magnus Backstedt Part Ways

Team UK Youth and Paris-Roubaix and Tour de France stage winner Magnus Backstedt part ways

We would like to thank Magnus for his contribution over the last two years. He has been a fundamental part of helping us to build the UK Youth cycling team. He is at the point in his career where he feels the need to explore other opportunities and we wish him all the best with his future. Magnus will still represent the charity UK Youth in his Vice Presidency role.

“I have had a great time racing and working with the team and have learnt a lot from Nigel. The opportunity that came with Team UK Youth enabled me to rediscover my love for riding a bike and for that I am very grateful”. Magnus Backstedt

“Magnus has been a great role model for the riders in the team and for UK Youth. His experience within the cycling industry is second to none. We certainly wish him every success with his future challenges”. Nigel Mansell, CBE (Team owner, ex-motor racing World Champion & UK Youth President).
