One Pro Cycling have been given a UCI Pro Continental Licence.
The British team owned by former England cricketer Matt Prior has been granted a licence which will allow them to be selected for wild card entries into the Giro D'Italia, Tour De France and Vuelta Espana as well the major races around the world.
Prior has signed Matt Goss who rode with Mark Cavendish at HTC Colombia, 2009 British Road Race champion Kristian House and Australian sprinter Steele Van Hoff amongst twelve new riders in a twenty man squad and said about earning the licence to Cycling Weekly: “We’re an ambitious team and after a strong debut season racing in Britain we were in no doubt of where we wanted to be next season.
“We’ve spent the last few months carefully selecting new riders to join the squad preparing us for what will be a huge step up. We have a great balance of talented up and coming riders who are hugely motivated to fulfil their potential, as well as experienced riders who have already tasted success at the top level.
"This mix of experience and youthful exuberance will stand us in good stead.”
