Madison Genesis

Madison Genesis

There's a new British team on the scene, and guess what? They're probably going to be good. With financial backing from the UK's leading distributor of bicycle parts and accessories, and Roger Hammond calling the shots, Madison-Genesis look well-equipped for their debut season.

To prove a point, they won their first race, courtesy of Ian Bibby at the London Bike Show Nocturne criterium in January. On the steel Genesis Volare bike, too, which is around 500g heavier than the carbon models used by their rivals. So much for marginal gains being the future of cycling.
