ONE Pro Cycling has today announced its application for a UCI Professional Continental licence for the 2016 season. The application, if successful, will see ONE Pro Cycling become the first British team to secure a UCI Pro-Continental licence and is another step towards participating in Grand Tour races such as The Tour de France.

The decision by ONE Pro Cycling, which was founded in February 2015 by former England cricketer Matt Prior, comes on the back of a successful first season at UCI Continental level. The team has achieved a number of wins, several podium finishes across UCI races and an impressive debut in the Tour Series.

Chief Executive for ONE Pro Cycling, Matt Prior, commented: “After a successful and hugely enjoyable first season we feel now is the right time to start the process to attain UCI Pro-Continental status. The last five months has been about establishing the team at Continental level and putting in place a sustainable commercial strategy. Having achieved this we feel we have the correct structure in place to take the step up to the next level.”

“Our decision is partly based on the success ONE Pro Cycling has seen in the saddle, but also due to the enormous support the team has received on the roads over the past five months and through our growing membership scheme. There is huge enthusiasm for cycling in the UK and the sport continues to grow in popularity – if successful, this move keeps us at the heart of it.”

“Today’s announcement is hopefully another small step towards our long term ambition to participate in the biggest races in the world including the Tour de France”.
