UK's first UCI women's team announced

The UK’s first UCI Trade Team for women has today been announced. Team FBUK has gained professional team status and has started 2006 as they mean to go on. With a strong international line up in its team, it is confident it can build upon the success of 2005 and form a strong and stable team for the future.

The year has started in style with the FBUK's Helen Wyman winning the UK National Cyclo-cross Championships on Sunday with a dominant performance in the women’s race. Behind her, teammates Gabby Day and Clare Gross placed fourth and sixth respectively. Louise Day was also on the podium as she picked up a silver medal in the veterans race.
