Named in honour of Tom Simpson – Britain’s first road race World Champion – our team channels his trailblazing spirit. In 2025, we celebrate 60 years since Simpson’s 1965 triumph, connecting our riders’ ambition to cycling’s rich heritage.

Advocating and supporting the team during their European programme, Joanne, Tom’s daughter, brings a special connection between the present and past.

We’re driven by history but focused on the future – breaking new ground for women in cycling.
