Welcome
to the world of Squadra Donne, the newest and freshest Ladies Cycle Racing Team
on the block. Squadra Donne has grown out of the ashes of Team QCP, retaining
the same management and support team.
An
advert was placed on British Cycling’s website, just stating that a new
Team was being set up, and asking for riders to apply to join us. No clues were
given as to who the Team was, who it was to be managed by, what sponsors and
supporters were on board, or what type of rider we were looking for. The Team
Management were looking to put in place a mix of experience, talent, and youth,
but above all a passion for cycling, and a willingness to be a Team player. The
response was better than we could ever have hoped for and the team slowly came
together, with eight riders selected for our first season in 2009.
After
a successful season in 2009, where we took part in the Women’s Team
Series, the Tour ta
We
will be riding the same Tours again this year, starting with the Tour ta Malta
in March, and have also been invited to a race in Holland and several races in
France, so with the Women’s Team Series, it will be a busy year for
Squadra Donne.
