After a stunning debut season in 2013, Madison Genesis is pleased to announce the highly anticipated 2014 Madison Genesis team roster.
“I knew from the start that creating a top class UK road race team from scratch was going to be a challenge, luckily I didn’t know how much but at the same time, thanks to the riders, managers and supporting staff we delivered some great results!" Dominic Langan, Madison CEO
“I'm really looking forward to working with this group of riders next year. Each and every one of them is eager to learn and progress in the world of professional cycling - an attribute I highly value” Roger Hammond, Team Manager
Madison Genesis welcomes the arrival of a number of versatile and experienced riders for 2014, whilst the development-led ethos of the team continues with the presence of numerous up and coming talents. These new additions will see the team increase in size to 13 riders, up from the 10 that made up the inaugural 2013 team.
Tom Scully is the highest profile rider to join the Madison Genesis team for 2014. The formidable Kiwi is accomplished at winning races alone and in bunch sprints. This year, he won two rounds and the Overall Sprint jersey at the Pearl Izumi Tour Series as well as winning the IG London Nocturne.
Pete Hawkins, despite an injury-tarnished 2013, was still able to win a stage of the infamous Milk Race. Fingers crossed for an injury-free year and we should see Pete's dogged grit and determination shine though.
Tom Stewart joins the team as one of the most exciting prospects on the UK scene. Following his recent conversion from mountain biking, Tom finished an impressive second place overall in the 2013 Premier Calendar series.
Another Kiwi joining the team is Mike Northey. Mike is a versatile attacking rider, equally at home in the Tour Series and the climbs of the Grand Prix of Wales which he won this year.
Winning The Bole hill road race in only his second year as a senior rider, 19-year-old Matt Holmes is an exciting addition to the Squad. We look forward to watching him develop next year.
The youngest rider in the squad, Scott Davies showed his ability and level headedness at the World Junior Road Race Championships where he finished in a superb seventh place on a circuit reputed to be the hardest for at least a decade.
Last but not least, Tobyn Horton. A strong fast finisher, Tobyn was a member of the Tour Series winning UK Youth squad, with multiple podium finishes during the series.
“I am sure the new riders will not only strengthen the core of the team, but also, more importantly, increase the versatility of the team enabling us to be more competitive throughout the ever-diversifying road race calendar. I can't wait to get started!” Roger Hammond, Team Manager
"We have learnt a huge amount from last season and for 2014 the team is stronger, larger and broader in experience. This is being backed up with ever better product from the saddle through to the bike itself. 2014 is going to be a very exciting season for the Madison Genesis team." Dominic Langan, Madison CEO.
