The 2010 brings together a squad of greater strength and depth for Pendragon Sports along with new title Partners, clothing brand , Le Col and leading  bike brand, Colnago.

 

The team is headed by Yanto Barker and Dave Clarke. The management team has also been strengthened with the inclusion of Graeme Lackford,  former Masters National track and road race Champion, as joint Director Sportive with Brian Johnson. Ricci Pascoe, a former pro cyclist, owner of Bike Chain Ricci and mentor to Chris Opie also lends his experience to the management.

 

 New additions to the rider roster include Yanto Barker, Kieran Frend, Rhys Lloyd, Casey Munro, and Steve Lampier. Those remaining from the 2009 are:

 

·         Dave Clarke

·         Jack Adams

·         Chris Opie

·         George Richardson

·         Richard Tanguy

·         James Williams

 

The team composition is such that it will be competitive at International, National Premier Calendar and short course crit races popular in the UK.

 

“We are very excited about the team and we aim to continue developing the squad to UCI continental level so we will be capable of competing in the Tour of Britain within two years”. Nick Bourne, team principle.  “Support of the team fits well with our company focus on cycling development within Schools in the South West and activities which include cyclosportives and, cycle tourism.

 

The idea of developing regional squad augmented with selected riders from outside of the region to add balance has worked well to date and it is hoped that this model will enable development of a solid fan base from the South West while offering business an excellent marketing platform to promote their products and services.
