Velo29 Elite Cycling Team & Triathlete Polly Mosley

Rider/Manager: Dan Smith, Saltburn

Dan Represented Britain as a Junior and Under-23 rider before signing for one of France’s top teams at the age of 22. He went on to spend 5 seasons abroad and established himself as one of France’s top riders with countless wins throughout his career.

Now back in the UK Dan is targeting all the UK’s top races including National Championships, the Premier Calendar Series as well as representing Velo29 in France for the occasional return trip to racing abroad.

As one of Velo29′s more senior riders Dan will be able to coach and support the younger riders throughout the season and help them with tactical knowledge and training tips.

Rob Carter, Marton

Rob joined the Velo29 Cycling Team in March 2010 and has rapidly become one of the team’s best riders and one of the most feared riders in the North East. Rob has scored wins and podiums at all levels in the North East and in his first year of premier calendar racing has finished comfortably with the best riders in the country. With Rob still being relatively new to the sport it is likely that he will go on to improve even further… Who knows how far he will go!

Velo29 fully expects Rob to finish top 20 if not higher in premier calendar races in 2011.

Chris Mark, Coulby Newham

Recently signed from the Adept Precision RT, Chris is a man with years of experience and someone who can be counted on to perform at the highest level throughout the season.

He is a former NE region road race champion with top 20 results in premier calendar races under his belt; these are the sort of results that Chris will be aiming to improve upon with the support of Velo29 Cycling Team.

Rob Graham, Gosforth

Rob starts his second year with Velo29 this 2011 season. Rob is a highly motivated second year espoir rider who is aiming to find his feet in the premier calendar races this year!

Rob is committed to his training and will undoubtedly go on to achieve his full potential whilst completing his studies at Loughborough University.

Jack Rees, Stockton-on-Tees

Jack is Velo29's second signing from the Adept Precision RT. Jack has recently finished university and is determined to give cycling his best shot with the Velo29 Cycling Team over the next couple of years.

Jack had several wins last year and will undoubtedly carry this on at the higher level he has now reached. Jack will also be taking part in his first full season of Premier Calendar races this year.

Ciaran O Sullivan, Ireland

Ciaran has recently moved to Newcastle-Upon-Tyne from the Republic of Ireland where he has been racing regularly at a high level. Now that he is here, he wants to take on the Premier Calendar series and show everyone what he’s made of!

Team photographer / Film Producer Phil Mark, Acklam

Phil has joined the team this year and will be present throughout the season at the team’s races both locally and nationally. Having Phil in the team is a real bonus and his assistance is very highly valued.

Phil will be producing video diaries and photo coverage of the team throughout 2011.

Team Chairman Richard Williamson, Guisborough

A rider with years of experience, Richard has a wealth of knowledge to pass onto the team’s riders. He has competed at the top level in both the UK and Europe, and still races himself when committments allow.

Richard’s main goal for 2011 is to support what is rapidly becoming one of the stronger squads in the country.
