In his first season with Madison Genesis George Pym became a key member of the squad.
Earning starts at the Tour de Yorkshire and Tour of Britain, as well as a regular Tour Series slot, Pym impressed with his resilience and ability to take opportunities.
Top-ten results at national series events were backed up when Pym made the front group of the British Championships, helping Connor Swift to the title.
"In 2018 found my feet within the team and solidified my place. It was nice to feel my place is warranted and I made an impact. If I could do the same this year that would be fantastic.
"I was firmly concentrating on getting the best result possible at each national series race - at Lincoln I was eighth but it was close to being on the podium.
"I’m just trying to keep on improving and if I can carry on doing that I’ll be happy. I don’t want to say I want to do this and that. I want to win races which everyone wants. If I can just improve and be better at everything equally I’ll be happy."
