News – Madison Genesis Debut at Normandy

Madison Genesis had a fantastic season in 2014, with multiple victories and impressive performances on the world stage. The team is proud to kick-off the 2015 season with the announcement that their first race will be at the esteemed Tour of Normandie.

For the first time, the Madison Genesis team will take on the week-long stage race in France from 23rd-29th March. The race is known for strong winds with riders fighting for position for the inevitable echelons; conditions Team Manager Roger Hammond used to excel in.

Erick Rowsell, in his first appearance for Madison Genesis will be returning to the 35th edition of the race in which he won a stage in 2012 and also finished 7th on GC. Tom Scully also returns to the race where he won the prologue, the opening time trial over 3.5km, in 2013.
