The domestic pro road scene needs a shot in the arm and fast if it’s to avoid dwindling to nothing. That’s the view of Team SwiftCarbon Pro boss Paul Lamb as he folds his team due to a lack of sponsorship funding.
The Yorkshire-based outfit has been a UCI team for three years and this season counted the likes of Alex Peters, Pete Williams and Will Bjergfelt among its riders. In 2019 it placed James Shaw fifth overall in the Tour de Yorkshire.
SwiftCarbon’s demise adds to the steady drip of top teams closing over recent years – others include Vitus, Madison, OnePro, and JLT. It leaves the UK with four UCI teams this season: Ribble Pro Cycling, Wiv-Sungod, Saint Piran and Trinity Racing.
