The British racing scene has been given a boost after an off-season of discontent. Ribble Pro Cycling team manager Jack Rees has revealed the team is set to step up to Continental level in 2019.

He told Cycling Weekly: “We’ve been racing at the UK level for a good few years under different guises but we’ve not had the level of backing that we have now. There wasn’t much left to do at the level we were competing at and you need to have UCI status to even consider riding the Tour of Britain, which is the shop window for sponsors and for riders.”
