Experienced rider Sarah Reynolds will be joining Matrix Fitness / Prendas with immediate effect. Sarah has raced in Europe for several seasons but has now returned to the UK, where she’ll form a key part of the team taking on a much increased UK program.
“I’m thrilled to have Sarah on the team. She’s ridden on one of my teams back in 2008 and was always a pleasure to work with. Sarah’s talent has never been in doubt and that led to her gaining a place on a top Dutch development team. But things have come full circle and I’m really pleased to be able to offer her the support she deserves in 2012” commented team manager Stefan Wyman.
“During the process of adding Sarah to the team, another Sarah, Sarah Byrne, has decided to put cycling aside for the season and will no longer to be taking her place on the team. It’s a real shame as everyone was looking forward to working to Sarah. But the team remains very strong, and young, and we’re excited about the season ahead. Sarah Reynolds defiantly adds to the strength of the squad and gives us the added options we were looking for.”
On the joining the team, Sarah said, “I’m very happy to the joining the team. They’re the leading UK team and to be part of that is very exciting. Racing for a British team is just what I needed right now in my career and I’m pretty excited about the race program we have.”
“This team is professionally run and the equipment we’ll be using is at the level of any professional team out there. The team Velocite bikes are very impressive and other parts of the back up like TORQ nutrition and CycleOps Power Taps will help us keep the team at the top in the UK.”
