The girls who make up the team for 2014 have been busier than ever in their preparations for the new season. Katie Archibald (above) is now an established member of the Great Britain Team Pursuit Squad, having just been part of the team that broke the world record twice in a day to win the second World Cup in Mexico. Dame Sarah Storey made a successful return to racing following the birth of her daughter in June, with a win at the Newport International Paracycling Cup last weekend.

In winning the 3000m Individual Pursuit, Dame Sarah’s time was still quick enough to have won the Paralympic Gold last year, despite her relative lack of fitness. Revolution round 2 saw impressive performances by both Ciara Horne and Charline Joiner and Hayley Jones, currently in Australia, has been in winning form whilst soaking up some much needed sunshine!

With less than a month until 2014, the team is now looking forward to its winter training camp at Club La Santa from December 12th.
