Despite the COVID-19 travel restrictions across Europe and the chaos caused by Brexit, we have put in place support programmes for a total of 42 riders for 2021. There is a good mixture of riders being supported for a second or third year as their careers progress and those being supported for the first time. We wish them all the best of success in what will be a difficult year with a restricted racing programme and continued travel disruption. What will always be certain is that determination, application and perseverance will always prevail, and we wish the best of success to all the riders.
