Gapped Race Team
More than a race team.
Gapped Race Team was created to make competitive cycling feel accessible to riders who may never have seen themselves on a start line.
What started with a small group of riders taking their first steps into racing has grown into a team competing across the UK, from local criteriums and time trials to national-level events and para-cycling.
Some join us having never pinned on a race number before. Others come looking for the environment, structure and support to take their racing to the next level.
Different starting points. One team.
Race. Develop. Progress.
Built For Development
We're not interested in simply assembling the fastest roster we can find.
We want to develop racers.
That means creating an environment where riders can learn, make mistakes, get stronger and gradually take on bigger challenges.
For some, success might mean finishing their first crit.
For another, it's earning their Cat 3 or Cat 2 licence.
For others, it's competing at National Championships or exploring where their racing can ultimately take them.
The goal is progress.
Racing With Purpose
Gapped Race Team sits within something much bigger.
Through Gapped Cycling, we work with children, young people, families, community riders and people taking their very first steps into cycling.
That gives our race team a responsibility.
Our racers aren't just representing themselves when they pull on the jersey. They're showing the next generation where cycling can lead.
From learning to ride...
to joining a cycling club...
to entering a first race...
to competing nationally.
We want the pathway to be visible.
WHAT MAKES GRT DIFFERENT?
Development
Development
Development
We actively support riders entering and progressing through competitive cycling. Whether you're preparing for your first race or chasing your next category, we're building an environment designed around progression.
Community
Development
Development
We're rooted in the communities we serve. The race team is part of the wider Gapped ecosystem, connecting grassroots cycling, youth development, community riding and competition.
Opportunity
Opportunity
Opportunity
Racing shouldn't feel like a closed world. We want more people from different backgrounds to experience competitive cycling and discover how far they can take it.
Team
Opportunity
Opportunity
You race for yourself, but you don't have to do it alone. Training, race days, trips, advice, encouragement and plenty of questionable race tactics afterwards, being part of GRT means being part of something.
From First Race To National Level
In only a few seasons, Gapped riders have gone from complete racing beginners to competing and succeeding across the sport.
We've celebrated first races.
First points.
First podiums.
First wins.
Category promotions.
National-level racing.
And para-cycling success.
But we're just as proud of the riders who turned up nervous for race one and came back for race two. Because that's where everything starts.
The Next Generation
Our long-term ambition goes beyond building a successful adult race team.
We're creating a pathway.
Through Gapped's growing youth programmes, children are already developing their bike handling, confidence and racing skills, with young riders beginning to make the transition into competitive cycling.
We want a child learning to ride with Gapped today to be able to look ahead and see somewhere to go tomorrow.
Grassroots → Development → Racing → Performance
That's the future we're building.
