Team News: Brother NRG to Ribble Pro Cycling
In 2018, Ribble Cycles returns the racing scene with one of 2017’s most successful UK domestic teams; North East Pro Cycling (Brother NRG). With a pragmatic approach to offering high-performance equipment, Ribble aligns closely with the team’s management ethos of ‘success through innovation and ingenuity’.
Dan Bigham in the Brother NRG colours
Last season, the Brother NRG team finished at the top of British Cycling’s national rankings, they achieved in excess of one hundred race victories and secured multiple British National titles. This partnership will enable the team to take yet another step forward in 2018.
The team retains a strong core group of riders from 2017 including eight times British Champion Dan Bigham. The entire team contributed to the most successful season to date, but Ribble Pro Cycling have added to their roster to develop and enhance in a number of areas including:
John Archibald; following a stand out season John joins from Pro Vision, John is a multiple Scottish champion, who is targeting Commonwealth selection on the track. John is sure to make waves with a supportive team, varied race program and best equipment on the market at his disposal.

Ethan Vernon; as one of the most talented junior pursuit riders in the world, Ethan gained the team’s attention with three national titles at the Junior National Track Championships where he set two new national record in both the kilo and the pursuit. Ethan will mix a junior and senior program with the team in conjunction with racing for the Great Britain Cycling Team.
The team will continue to target multi-disciplinary success; looking to win at every opportunity with key targets around the Tour Series and UK UCI and Elite Road Series Races. Another key focus will be the National Road and Time Trial Championships, National Time Trial Championships across varying distances and a number of UCI 1.2 and 2.2 races to complement the UK race program.
James Vickers, Head of Marketing at Ribble Cycles said: “Everyone at Ribble is excited to be returning to the Domestic Pro Peloton. The team has progressed extremely quickly over the last two years and we are delighted to support them as they continue on this upward trajectory.”
