The last round and the pressure was on , we had full confidence in what we needed to do but nothing is set in stone until it happens.
early on in the race we just sat in marking the key riders , then two London academy riders got off the front , this was perfect for us as it took some pressure off at the sprint finish that was looking very obvious from early on , two riders up the road that didn't challenge our overall meant the big points on the day where gone so it was stay in contention in the main group but dont take on the work load.
Katherine had spoke before of an area on the course she was strong and a great effort from the rest of the team set up Katherine to make a huge attack from the group , putting in a hero like lap and getting a gap on the chasing pack , this was the perfect situation , two up the road and FTP picking up the next set of big points on offer .
this allowed the rest of the team to come home in the bunch and secure the title of Team Cup winners 2024 !!
Winning his always great , but watching how the team had grown and supported each other throughout the series was the best part , we had ups and downs and really had to fight for every point.
Throughout the race our aim was to dominate and control the race to suit our riders. We used our climbers to string out the peloton up and over the climbs and attacked to try and form breakaways.
With 5 riders within the top 20 and our first four riders counting for the team cup points finishing in 4th, 8th, 13th and 16th, we extended our lead in the Team Cup with one round to go!
One of our sponsors, Steve, of Tranquillo cycling came over to support us before, during and after our race! We chose to wear our 'Egalite pour les Femmes' t-shirts from his brand! We would highly recommend!
We held our own in the humidity and heat as this race finished in a bunch sprint. Rosie came away with a brilliant 15th place which helps the team maintain first place in the standings.... Not many race to go!
A brutal road race in Oxfordshire, where a lot of the riders live. On the last ascent of Edge Hill, a small group formed at the front, with Anna Boniface included and gaining a brilliant 11th place! The rest of our riders were consistent and showed our depth, all in the top 30. We are climbing the Team Cup rankings slowly!
A brilliant win from our very own Floren takes us into the lead in the series! The final lap saw a long-range attack and then a reduced bunch sprint with a 500 meter climb to the line. WELL DONE FLOREN!
This round we had another strong team our - Caitlin, Viv, Claire N, Harriet , Rosie and Becky. Start as we mean to go on was our motto! We had a mixed bag as there were a few crashes - caitlin worked hard to pull the break of 4 back but it just didn't happen. The new Ale kit looking brilliant though and we are hoping we can claw back some points next round as we now are 3rd in the Team Cup.
The Race started with alot of aggressive attacks that split the field early , a strong group go away at the front after some early crashes along with the pace split the groups apart.
Caitlin made the main split with Becky and Claire just behind
Caitlin attacked in the now select group at the front a few times in the last lap trying to get those extra yards that would get the result , a big attack just as the group turned right into the racecourse at Goodwood was brave but Caitlin managed to hold it to the line and claim a well deserved victory
FTP racing left round one topping the team standings ,with a full team out for the next race we will be looking to hold onto that lead and try and build on it ,
Battle on the beach saw the team of Louise Hart , and Harriet Evans and Lilie Sanders take on super tough conditions with Louise taking 21st overall , Harriet 23rd and lilie 26th

Mathilde raced the multi stage Tour of Malta , with multiple second place finishes and 2 odd place overall on GC it proved a great tour and well earned result
