With a strong mix of experienced riders and exciting new signings for 2025, I’m looking forward to seeing them race on the biggest stages this year. As a proud ambassador of CAMS, it’s fantastic to see their support for the team once again, as they share my belief in both supporting the sport and protecting cyclists on our roads.”

Neil Beardsmore, J’s Cycles Finance Director, said: “We’re super proud to continue our support for the Fensham Howes MAS Design team. In the three years that we have been a part of this project we have seen several riders move on to promising U23 careers and Matthew Brennan moving up to the World Tour with Visma Lease a Bike and getting on to the podium of his first World Tour race!.”
