Team Raleigh expands for 2011


Team Raleigh is looking to expand to racing across the Atlantic with the signing of several overseas riders for the 2011 season.
American former Yahoo team riders Ryan Parnes and Phil Mooney, Canadian Jamie Sparling and Dutchman Jeroen Janssen join the British-based team for next year as the squad sets out to broaden its racing programme to North America.
The overseas quartet join existing Raleigh riders Liam Holohan, British national hill-climb champion Dan Fleeman and Richard Handley.
The squad has also signed a host of younger talent, with Matt Gee (19), Matt Cronshaw (22), Matt Kipling (28), Gael Le Bellec (22) and Matt Jones (21) joining up. All of the team are under 30 years of age.
Along with the yet-to-be-announced North American race calendar, the team will be in action in the British Premier Calendar and Tour Series.
Cherie Pridham is team director and Eddie White is team manager.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
