We were rolling strong at the Tour of Britain last week with the Strade wheelset from Parcours and Vittoria Corsa Pro tyres - speed, grip, and style dialled in.

Following a crash in stage 2 of the Tour of Norway, and major surgery on her hand and wrist, Amelia has now been discharged from hospital in Stavanger. Recover fast Amelia, we are with you every step of the way, and are sure you will be back even stronger. 💙💙💙🦄

What a week, that was at the Tour of Britain Women. Incredible to race in front of huge crowds, particularly on home roads in Scotland. Thank you @tourofbritain for a superb week, looking forward to 2026. Get well soon Kate and Maddie. 📸 @swpix_cycling 📸 @bob.macgregor.31 📸 Billy Knox Photography

Lauren has a very exciting future ahead of her.

Stage 2 Tour of Britain - a big one for the team! Day 2 brought more highs and lows today, a break of three right at the start of the race saw Maddie get a gap of over 3 minutes on the peloton for over half the race.

Stage 1 of the Tour of Britain was a challenging one today, strong winds and strong riders made for attritional racing conditions. The team rode well though, with Lauren making it into the break, before puncturing with 3km to go. We go again on stage 2 tomorrow!

Team Announcement Due to unfortunate circumstances, we've made a late change to our rider lineup for the Tour of Britain. Amelia and Neah will no longer be racing, and instead Amy and Arianne will take their place.

What a weekend in Norway! 🇳🇴

It has been an incredible few months for the team and in particular Lauren, but this weekends performance at the Tour of Norway was exceptional. In a world class field, Lauren showed what she is capable of, taking a stunning 2nd place in stage 1, 8th in stage 2 and 3rd on GC.

Lauren Dickson 🇬🇧 came onto my radar in 2024 when I was commentating on the Lancaster GP where she came 2nd. She has grown so much as a rider and is looking like she'll be a major talent. Top teams will be after her signature. Well done on another superbly developed rider, @albaroadteam.bsky.social

A huge race for Lauren today as she takes 🥈on stage 1 of the Tour of Norway! A big day for the team. Watch stage 2 tomorrow on Discovery / TNT

The Tour of Britain is almost upon us - let's do this! Check out our roster for the biggest race on our calendar ⬇️

June is shaping up to be another busy month of racing! 🚴‍♀️ ☀️ Kicking it off is the Tour of Norway, then we're back home for the Tour of Britain, a short break and we're on the road to Flanders again, then back to Northumberland for...

We're back racing this weekend over at the Tour of Norway! A two day stage race that will take us round some beautiful Norwegian landscapes while also putting the riders to the test in this UCI 2.1 race.

It’s less than 2 weeks until The Tour Of Britain ! With stages in Scotland for the first time in the women’s tour - we can’t wait to show the World Tour teams our home roads! Who’s coming to watch?

The results keep coming! 👑 After a flying TTT, a 2nd on stage 3 and a very rainy week - Kate comes home with the yellow jersey from the @tourdefeminin ! A result of great performances from the whole team: Kate, Lauren, Amelia, Arianne, Mari & Beth. Thanks for having us Czechia! 🇨🇿

Kate Richardson wins the Tour De Feminin overall🥇 What a race!

It’s 2nd for Kate in Stage 3, and also taking Yellow into tomorrow’s final stage!

It was a very tough stage yesterday, but a solid day for the team. Kate and Lauren up to 10th and 11th on GC at 45 seconds back. Lauren 4th in polka dot. It’s all to play for! 📺 Watch stage 3 here: www.youtube.com/live/zNyh1nn...

It was a solid start today, with a very well ridden Team Time Trial in tricky wet conditions. The team rode conservatively due to the difficult conditions. 7th place in GC at +43s, means we are well placed for tomorrow's road race in the Lusatian Mountains.

Tomorrow we kick off racing at the Tour de Feminin in the Czech Republic with a Team Time Trial. The TTT is a short 12.6km course outside the town of Krásná Lípa, with some punchy climbs and steep descents, stage 1 will be key to deciding GC standings for the following days.

Tomorrow we take on the Lincoln Grand Prix, a true classic in the racing calendar. Featuring punchy climbs, plenty cobbles and big crowds - the tough course will make for an exciting day out. Who's coming to watch?

What a performance! A superb 2nd place for Lauren in the Pointe du Raz Classic. Lauren was very active throughout the race and made the decisive break with 50K to go. She attacked the break with 20K to go and remained solo until the last 3K where Paula Blasi bridged across to her.

It’s Race day! 📺 Watch live now : m.youtube.com/watch?v=PqiS...

On Thursday we race the Pointe du Raz ladies classic on the Brittany coast. Over 143Km, the race travels around the peninsula, featuring 11 off-road secteurs, and culminates in 6 laps of the town of Plouhinec.

It was an excellent performance from the team yesterday in a very aggressive race. A strong group of teams made for a quality field that raced hard - with everyone stepping up to take on the challenge. We look forward to building on what we learnt over the weekend and taking it into next week.

It has been a tough couple of years for Kate, but it's great to have her back in the team and see her fully fit and racing well. A couple of very solid races in the UK, followed by a strong ride at Mouscron, backed up with two podiums in Belgium this weekend. Bring on the remainder of the season.

Following on from our earlier announcement about racing the Tour of Britain this year, Team Manager Bob Lyons was keen to stress the importance of racing on home roads; “The Lloyds Tour of Britain Women is an extremely important race for us, as it is the only WorldTour race on our calendar...(1/3)
