News: Scott Thwaites Signs for Dimension Data
Yorkshire’s classics rider Scott Thwaites who rode his first Grand Tour at the Vuelta, has signed for Dimension Data
The 26-year-old British rider who won the Lincoln GP at 21, has gained experience in the professional peloton over the last four years while competing for Bora-Argon18. Thwaites had a very strong spring campaign in 2016 that saw him barely finish outside of the top 20 in the most prestigious cobbled classics. He will add depth to Dimension Data for such races say the team.

Douglas Ryder – Team Principal says “In the Classics this season we were always looking for an additional strong rider to give us that extra kick and we are really pleased Scott Thwaites will join our African team. The Classics are a beautiful part of cycling’s history that we would like to excel in and Scott will bolster our lineup and chances.”
Scott Thwaites – “After steadily improving over the last 4 years in the classics and beginning to break into the top 20, I was looking for a team with some experienced classics riders and knowledgeable directors to help me continue to improve. I am really looking forward to supporting Edvald Boasson Hagen in the classics whilst learning from him and Sports Directors like Roger Hammond to enable me to also fight for top results. The team has a great rider support network which will help me make small gains in my performance which I hope will translate into results. In addition to focusing on the classics, being part of a team with great champions like Mark Cavendish gives me great motivation to help the team achieve many victories next season.
