Profile
[edit]Founded in 2011 Team UK Youth were sponsored by UK Youth, a UK-based youth work charity. The team rode senior professional events in the United Kingdom and Europe, other than the Grand Tours and UCI ProTour races. For the 2012 season they expanded the team, joining the UCI Continental Circuits, and competing in the Tour of Britain.[4]
