The new Motorpoint-Marshalls Pasta Racing Team - formerly CandiTV-Marshalls Pasta - gave a presentation at the Derby branch of the squad's main sponsor, car supermarket Motorpoint.co.uk, on Wednesday.

Local radio and television crews were on hand to record the ocassion and there were representatives from the team's other sponsors to see how the squad had shaped up. The event was also the first chance to see the two Volvo team cars that will support the riders on the road this season.

The team flies out to Mallorca on Monday, February 8, for another block of training. Before that, Hannah Barnes and Ian Bibby will compete in the British Cyclo-Cross National Championships at Sutton Park, Birmingham this coming weekend (February 6-7).
