Ribble Cycles is now the official bike partner for the Drops-Le Col supported by Tempur racing team.
Drops-Le Col supported by Tempur, the UK based UCI Women’s Continental cycling team, will be riding Ribble after signing an initial two-year deal.
“Our ambition to compete at the very highest level and to become the most exciting racing team on the road was instantly recognised and matched by Ribble’s to be our bike partner for 2021 and 2022,” said team director Bob Varney.
“Like the team, they are very much an international brand with a British heart; backed with a wonderful race/performance heritage at the very highest level of the sport. It’s truly an exciting chapter for both partners and we can’t wait to get into action on our new Ribble’s next month at Setmana Ciclista Valenciana.”

Cyclist sets out on a Greek odyssey

Climbing into the foothills of Mount Parnitha, Myrto educates me about the local history. She relates the legend of the Greek god Pan, who frequented the forests here to play his flute and dance on his cloven hooves among the deer.
I nod silently as she talks, seemingly absorbed in her tales, but the truth is I am incapable of speech. It’s taking all of my energy simply to turn the pedals and mask my increasingly laboured breathing. Myrto is very fast.
