Biketreks Year in Review and looking to 2013

Established 2 years ago, Biketreks Racing Team has grown steadily towards its goal to be one of the UK’s leading cycling development teams.

Team Press Release

Our second season in operation has been a successful one. We have reached our goals to progress riders through the racing categories and for them to gain entry and exposure to Premier calendar racing, the pinnacle of domestic Road Racing.

For 2013, the team is focusing further on its rider development goals and will therefore be looking to provide the best of breed structure to support two squads, Under 23s and Juniors for a full Premier Calendar Series and National Junior Series. The two squads will be supported by Nic Bertrand (Manager), Simon Deeley (Assistant Manager), Jon Taylor (Coach and Sports Massage, Bike&Body), Graham Theobald of the Body Rehab (Sports therapy and Physiological Testing as well as state of the art altitude training facilities at his Staveley clinic) as well as a soon to be announced directeur sportif with years of experience running teams at international level.

The team has already had significant interest from juniors who have raced internationally and nationally with incredibly bright futures. We also welcome the following sponsors for 2013, Sihelcycling who will be supplying quality race wheels from Czech Republic’s Remerx, Glanford Ltd, UK Distributors of UdderlySmooth chamois Cream as well as Professional cycle Supertools distributor, NRG4.

We believe we have created a fantastic resource for young cyclists based in the North West of England to become the best cyclists they can be and have their best shot at being talent spotted by larger UCI Teams.

Successful sponsorship in sport is one of the main reasons for successful performance. This is especially the case in cycling. No team can survive without sponsors and even the world’s best athletes depend on companies to be able to compete and achieve those goals they are striving for. Applications from companies that will complement our loyal set of sponsors to become a co-title sponsor are welcome to contact the Team Manager, Nicolas Bertrand, nicolas.bertrand@gmail.com. We are adamant that co-sponsor resources combined with dedication and performance on our behalf will result in victory for both parties.

We would like to thank the following companies for their support in 2012:
- Cycling Holiday Spain
- Biketreks Ambleside
- Specialized UK
- SihelCycling / Remerx
- UdderlySmooth
- Soigneur Embrocation
