Saint Piran

Post by carlislemike »

Okay, I’m new to this part of the website so pardon what may be an ignorant question. Why are Saint Piran so dominant as a road team here in the UK. Better sponsorship and team development, lack of competition! Any suggestions may help Mr Confused aka myself.

A combination of the above. They’ve been around a few years and gradually got better over time, with more sponsorship and the opportunity to race abroad. There’s only one other British Mens UCI Continental team, Trinity, and they seem to be more of a development squad. St Piran aren’t having it all their own way though as they didn’t win either the Soens or the Jock Wadley over the weekend.

Thanks for that. Just recent views in CE seem to indicate dominance
