TROUPE CYCLING

Aim

Keeping the dream alive for British based U23 riders. Giving them the opportunity to race in UCI and national races across Europe.

Who are TROUPE Cycling?

The goal is to establish a British based U23 cycling team to provide young riders with opportunities to develop their skills, gain exposure, and demonstrate their abilities in prestigious UCI* and national competitions across Europe without having to live abroad and race for a foreign team.

*UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale), the world governing body for cycling. UCI races are the top level races in the sport

Why are we crowdfunding?

We're reaching out to the cycling community to help give these young riders the support they need. Your backing will not only supply the funds needed to help them race abroad, but will also be a huge boost of confidence knowing that they have support from the community.

How we’ll spend the money raised

Your money will go directly to the team, paying for travel, accommodation, food and expenses for trips to the races. It'll also cover boring, but essential stuff like insurance and affiliations. Each trip to a European race costs around £3K. We're looking to raise at least £15K, which will guarantee at least 5 trips. The more we get, the more we can do.

Community impact

Troupe Cycling Team is supported by the cycling community, sports fans and sponsors. It's aim: to create opportunity and a pathway for young British cyclists to compete in Europe after they leave the junior ranks, regardless of their financial situation or commitments to further education and work.
