Pasta Montegrappa is a major supplier of several British larger chain-stores and has been supporting professional cycling since the early nineties when it became title sponsor of Italian professional Team De Nardi – Pasta Montegrappa.
Radio Marsden, the charity radio station for the Royal Marsden Hospitals, will also partner the project. (www.radiomarsden.co.uk). The Team will focus on all major British races and several UCI European Tours including the Women’s Tour of Britain.

Part of the 2014 Team’s calendar is a period of racing and training in Italy, during which the Team will be based near Treviso in the beautiful Prosecco area, where Pasta Montegrappa are also based. Riders will be coached by CTA, a team of professional coaches that also coach riders such Marco Pinotti, Domenico Pozzovivo and Susanna Zorzi.
