I am in the process of sourcing potential riders for a new multi dicipline racing team, which if the main sponsor carries through their suggestion, could mean opportunities for quality road riders to gain significant sponsorship.
The sponsor is looking to promote a quality bike brand and is based in the North of England, so your locality may influence your chances.

If you have a cycling CV you think demonstrates your worth to a potential sponsor, then please message me with a summary of your results (and weblinks where possible), and include some information about yourself and goals for the next one or two seasons.

Thanks.

    You give up with this link, then.... :roll:
    Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!
  • Your probably right Hopper, as I've probable got enough athletes on board to go with this.

    Is there any particular reason why some people are so cynical about people with motivation to do something constructive?

    It's probably worth posting this on Veloriders as well.
  • Thanks Toks.

  • Good luck to you. Some people on bike forums get jealous because they're pushing middleage, never raced and too overweight to start it now...thus ridicule such ideas :roll:

    I think I'd be awesome as a sponsored cyclist. Despite the fact I'm only a 4th cat with aspirations I'm a right loudmouth in the mould of Cav, albeit without any of his talent or physical attributes.
  • Thanks for the following input above and just to footnote the thread, I burnt myself out forming, coaching and managing a team of good local to regional class athletes, including a few with further ability for a year till the end of the 2011 season. A partnership that concluded due to a souring relationship between myself and the main sponsor.

    The team continues to date without my input, and past news and near enough a years worth of race reports and results can be found in the news section of my website, linked in my signature below.

    It was a good but exhausting experience that I may repeat, though if I do then it will not be done so selflessly.
    For now, I am reaquainting myself with my family and friends.

    Enjoy your racing and give huge appreciation to all organisers and their significant others, especially those who do this kind of thing long term!

    Cheers.
