Round 1 – Ryde – Isle of Wight, Tour Series
NFTO start the first race of the Pearl Izumi Tour Series, which kicks off on the Isle of Wight with a champion line-up on Thursday.

“The team say “We’re looking forward to being back and racing the Tour Series. We had three individual wins last season, one team round win and won the overall green jersey, so we’re hoping to improve on last seasons results and make the new Aberdeen jersey proud with the ultimate aim to be to take the overall team and round wins this year too”.

Ambitious goals for the team but with the following line up, it is certainly achieveable but will not be easy so close are the teams matched in 2015.
