The year started well, with Helen Wyman winning the UK cyclo-cross national champs in January. She then went on to gain 5^th place at the World Championships in Holland later that month.

A training camp followed in Belgium for the road team, where the girls were put to the test in the cold conditions of the Belgian winter. This helped the riders prepare for the first race of the season, the Het Volk.

Major success on the road came in July when Helen took the lead in the King of Mountains competition in the UCI ranked Tour of Brittany on the first day. With fantastic teamwork, Helen managed to hold the jersey for the entire tour.

Consistent top 10 results in UCI races meant Helen was selected for the World Championships in Austria to support Nicole Cooke, the World Number road rider. Also selected from FBUK, was Yolandi du Toit of South Africa. Yolandi also went on to win the African Continental Championships along with the most prestigious race in South Africa the 94.7 Classic.

To finish the year, FBUK riders Gabby Day and Helen have been competing in cyclo-cross races throughout Europe and are both ranked in the World top 20 (Helen 3^rd, Gabby 18^th). Gabby is also leading the UK National Series and is ranked UK number 1.

Unfortunately the title sponsors of the team in the past have come to the end of their agreement with the team and 2007 will see a new group of sponsors added to the team. This has led the team changing its name to reflect is sponsorship and rider base.

The rider list for 2007 is still not quite complete but includes:

• Helen Wyman – 25 UK
• Gabby Day – 21 UK
• Emma Silversides – 28 UK
• Line Ramsrud – 28 Norway
• Linn Torp – 29 Norway
• Linda Ringlever – 24 Holland
• Debby van den Burg – 26 Holland
• Masami Mashimo – 30 Japan

Several more riders will be to the squad during January.
