Chris Newton 2006

The Recycling.co.uk team will be made up of eight riders in 2007, with Chris Newton and Shaun Snodden the only two riders staying with the squad from the 2006 line-up. Commonwealth gold medallist and national scratch race champion Newton (pictured) will again lead the team next year, although he?ll have a younger team around him.

With the likes of Kristian House, Ben Greenwood and Robin Sharman moving on to new teams, and with four first-year seniors, the team may find results harder to come by next year. However, the team recently announced they would now be focusing their efforts on developing younger riders by taking them to continental events as well as UK races.
