Parsons to challenge for top honours in the British Under 23 Road
Race series.

In his first outing for the team Lee Davies had a tremendous 9th
place in the Archer International GP, a UCI 1.5 ranked race over 117
miles. The team will look to build on this initial success in the
weeks to come and as the season progresses – more info. will
