Global Racing Team have signed a new sponsorship deal which will fund a new initiative to find and train top riders from the UK for the 2012 Olympics.

Swift Group will now sponsor the Belgian based team, from 1 January 2008. The sponsorship will open a new route to young riders who want to race professionally with a view to entering the Olympics in 2012. Global Racing has been established for three years and was the first ever British women?s professional team.

Manager Stefan Wyman said: ?One of the major differences in the programme is that we will constantly be reviewing new talent and feeding riders into the team on a phased basis so that we can give as many people as possible the chance to make it to the top of the sport. British cycling is doing a great job to take its selected riders forward and provide them with opportunities to succeed. We intend to continue to allow other riders to have an alternative route in cycling.?
