NEWS: Women’s UCI Drops Team to Close

We are very sad to announce that Drops Cycling – currently racing as Lifeplus Wahoo – Britain’s most successful and longest running UCI women’s team, will close at the end of the year.

Despite securing a full stable of premium product partners for 2025, we have been unable to sell the naming rights for a figure commensurate with the budget required for a UCI Pro Team Licence application.

Our aim has always been to progress to Pro Team level and ultimately become a World Tour team. With uncertainty surrounding the viability of the project at Continental level, we no longer have the appetite to struggle to deliver our professional vision on a minimum budget at this largely unregulated level.

With the ever rising cost of racing, loss of sponsor bonus income without TDFF participation, the recent bike thefts and an ongoing partnership dispute due to unpaid instalments we have sadly raced our last race.

We thank our global fan base for their loyal support over the past nine years and send the international peloton our best wishes for the future.

Tom & Bob.
