We’re well into Transfer Season now with numerous teams having already announced their full 2016 line-ups, while several others have almost filled all their places.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the most complete list of transfers, new teams and team closures in British women’s cycling anywhere on the internet – keep checking back for the latest news.
Finally, we’re able to reveal the big news we’ve been promising for months – Nikki Juniper’s new team Ford Ecoboost!
————————————————————————————–
3C CycleExperience
If you’ve been to any races in the Southern region this year, you may already be familiar with the name 3C CycleExperience – the team was set up earlier this year with the aim of bringing together like-minded female cyclists who wanted to race.
Sponsors CycleExperience (a bike shop based in Hythe) and Really Useful Box apparently like the exposure they’ve received, because in 2016 the team has the backing to establish itself at regional races.

Les Filles
Clem Copie joins Les Filles for 2016
Press release: “Les Filles RT are entering into their 4th season and are proud to continue as an established team in the UK women’s peloton. One of the aims of the team is to provide opportunities for more mature (in age) riders, who are not interested in making cycling a career, to test themselves against the best in the country. They will again target Elite and National level road events, with the addition of several trips and races abroad.
Les Filles has essentially remained a London-based team to enable them to train and socialise together. As time-poor racers with full-time jobs and/or dependants, they will once again be faced with the challenge of balancing careers, family, training and racing.
Les Filles are grateful for ongoing support from Imperial Cycles Workshop in Isleworth (www.imperialcycles.co.uk), who run the popular Imperial Winter Series, which had outstanding numbers in their women’s races last year. Wildoo (www.wildoo.com) have extended their support for 2016, supplying race kit and Velopac accessories (www.velopac.cc). Jim Clarkson continues with kit design and website (www.jimdesign.co.uk).
Les Filles are pleased to announce their 2016 squad. They have retained the majority of their riders with a few exciting additions and personalities.”

Staying: Delia Beddis, Tracey Corbett, Laura Greenhalgh, Helen McKay, Nicole Oh, Helen Ralston
Coralie Glaunes and Clare Gillott remain with the team, primarily as directeurs sportif but competing in some local races. Vikki Filsell also remains a member and “may be seen at the odd event in 2016.”

Matrix Fitness p/b Corley Cycles
2015 Matrix riders Mel Lowther and Lucy Shaw are off to pastures new
It must have been a tough decision, but Matrix Fitness has elected to end its time as a UCI team. However, being Matrix – which, of course, is owned and managed by Stef Wyman, who has done more for women’s cycling than just about anyone else – it’s been decided that the team structure can be put to good use assisting aspiring riders and giving them the support they need to move up into the higher ranks.
The team retains the backing of Matrix Fitness, a company which has become one of the biggest backers of women’s cycling over the last few years, along with Trek UK (Trek, of course, need no introduction) and Milltag (my Milltag Matrix jersey is actually the nicest item of clothing I’ve ever owned, including my Brooks Bros coat). It will also continue to support Laura Trott and Elinor Barker throughout the Olympic year. Read more here
Matrix has also announced a partnership with Corley Cycles, best known in women’s cycling through its sponsorship of the Corley-Drops team. With a large shop, and fantastic workshop facilities, Corley Cycles will provide a key link to the cycling industry itself, as well as helping team riders directly with bike maintenance throughout the season – read more here.
Matrix have also revealed their 2016 team kit, and NS is impressed: it’s completely different to everyone else and last year’s design, but not so different that it’s not immediately recognisable – and also not so different to last year’s design that fans on a budget will be able to buy different items which will match what they already have.
Joining: Isla Rush – more details here (WyndyMilla), Alice Cobb (Racing Chance Foundation), Amira Mellor (Oldfield/Paul Milne Cycles), Lora Turnham (Ikon-Mazda), Corrine Hall (Ikon-Mazda)

Starley Pro Cycling
Starley has a new directeur sportif, Graham Pierce, and rumours that the team would not field a women’s squad in 2016 are completely untrue – in fact, Starley Bikes marketing director Nick Fountain explained to Neutral Service that the team’s sponsors are reporting a greater returns on their investment in the women’s team than the men’s – and so they’ll be focusing on the women next year.
Tanya Griffiths remains with Starley
The full line-up of eleven riders was revealed on New Year’s Day – keep an eye on this team, they’re going to be a real force to be reckoned with in 2016.

VO2
The Norfolk-based team will close at the end of the season.
WNT
WNT were always a tough team to beat; now they’ve got Natalie Grinczer (seen here at the 2015 Nationals) and Keira McVitty onboard too!
What a year it’s been for WNT – it was obvious that, with one of the strongest line-ups ever seen on the UK circuit, the squad was going to be successful, but it exceeded expectations and became one of the top teams right from the start of the season. And now, they’ve become even stronger…!

Not the new incarnation of Corley Cycles-Drops, but a new team managed by Bob Varney with retired Cheshire Classic winner (and very cool person) Karla Boddy and Tom Varney serving as directeurs sportif. The team announced it had registered to race at UCI level on the 7th of January.
Joining: Abi Van Twisk, Hannah Payton, Becky Womersley (all from Corley Cycles-Drops), Lucy Shaw (from Matrix), Rose Osborne (from WNT), Sophie Coleman (from PMR@Toachim House), Laura Cameron (from London Phoenix CC), Rebecca Durrell (Rebecca Nixon, she got married in September; from Fusion RT), Laura Massey (from Ikon-Mazda), Jen George (from Les Filles), Ellie Dickinson (from Giordana-Triton)

Podium Ambition/Pearl Izumi-Sports Tours International
Gabriella Shaw, seen her winning this year’s Tickhill GP, remains with Podium Ambition
A rumour in early September claimed Pearl Izumi-Sports Tours International were going to become a UCI professional team in 2016; Barney Storey did an admirable job of throwing us off the scent, but this turned out to be true. Best of luck to the team!
Joining: Grace Garner (Giordana-Triton), Amy Gornall, Elizabeth-Jane Harris (Army Cycling Union), Sharon Laws (Bigla), Nicole Moerig, Sara Headley (Tibco-SVB)

They are Bethany Crumpton, Monica Dew (Jadan), Beth Taylor (Bonito Squadra Corsa), Nikola Matthews, Kelly Murphy and Ruth Taylor (Manchester Wheelers).
Wiggle-Honda
There were plenty of rumours last year, when several riders left, that Wiggle was in difficulty – but then they signed up some of the best riders in Europe and got even stronger.
Joining: Emma Johansson (Orica-AIS), Amy Pieters (Liv-Plantur), Lucy Garner (Liv-Plantur)
Leaving: Eileen Roe (to new Belgian UCI team Lares-Waowdeals)
Staying: Jolien D’hoore, Dani King, Giorgia Bronzini, Elisa Longo Borghini
British Riders
Lizzie Armitstead becomes National RR Champ
Lizzie Armitstead has a multi-year deal with her Boels-Dolmans team which doesn’t expire until at least the end of next year. Now that she’s World Champion, don’t expect things to change for the next few years – there probably aren’t many teams who could afford her.
Hannah Barnes is moving to the team Ronny Lauke is creating from Velocio-SRAM (which closes at the end of the year). Barnes, who won Stage 1 at the Women’s Tour in 2015 and finished fifth overall, was with US team United Healthcare for the last two seasons. Lauke’s new team will ride Canyon bikes (lucky them, eh?), but the name has not been announced.
Lucy Coldwell
Chloe Fraser, previously with Deeside Thistle and a guest for the Racing Chance Foundation, is returning to professional cycling with Basque team Lointek.
Nikki Harris, who is best-known as a cyclo cross rider but has also held National titles on road, track and MTB, is moving from Telenet-Fidea to Boels-Dolmans. The move will give her more opportunity to concentrate on road as well as ‘cross, and she will support team mate Lizzie Armitstead at the Olympic Games in Rio.
Hayley Simmonds – seen here at the National RR Championships a few days after she won the National TT Championships, is turning professional.
Hayley Simmonds is turning professional (no surprise there, after the year she’s had!) with United HealthCare. Simmonds, who will soon complete her PhD at Cambridge, won the National Time Trial Championships in 2015, along with a fine selection of other races and titles in addition to beating some records. Something tells us we ain’t seen nuthin’ yet…
Jessie Walker will remain at Servetto-Footon, where she’ll be joined by fellow Brit Abby-Mae Parkinson (from Giordana-Triton).
Molly Weaver will remain at Liv-Plantur.
Notes
Irish rider Ciara Doogan will ride for Rytger, which will become a Danish domestic squad rather than a UCI professional team.
The Racing Chance Foundation – a charitable incorporated organisation established with a view to helping promote women’s cycling in the UK, by offering training sessions and coaching from all levels from novice to elite riders, as well as promoting races – mentions big news on the way. Keep an eye on the RCF webpage and their Twitter and Facebook accounts for the lastest news. It’ll be good, whatever it is!
