In 2016, British Cycling announced the launch of a new women’s cycling team, offering young female endurance riders from the Great Britain Cycling Team’s senior academy the opportunity to race consistently on the road and track in some of Europe’s biggest competitions.

The team is supported by HSBC UK Breeze, the biggest national programme aimed at getting more women cycling for fun and fitness and is a significant step forward for British Cycling’s #WeRide strategy, which aims to inspire more than one million more women to cycle regularly by 2020.

Team Breeze gives academy riders the opportunity to progress through the sport and maximise their potential, and we have no doubt that the team’s continued success will inspire many more women and girls to give cycling a go.
