The excitement is palpable as Wheelbase Cabtech Castelli officially unveils its 2025 team lineup, setting the stage for another thrilling season of racing. With a dynamic blend of returning riders and fresh talent, the team is geared up for success on the UK and international racing scene.

A Stronger, Faster Team for 2025

After an impressive 2024 season, Wheelbase Cabtech Castelli has opted for stability.  Team Manager Stu Reid has prioritised continuity, retaining a core group of experienced riders and making just four new signings. With a focus on endurance, speed, and teamwork, the 2025 iteration of the team is ready to push the limits.

With only two departures, the team heads into 2025 with a balanced mix of proven performers and fresh talent.

The seven retained riders from last season include a list of proven domestic race winners and protagonists: Tom Martin, Thomas Armstrong, Tim Shoreman, Jacob Smith, Lee Rosie, Aaron King, and David Lines. 

Tom Martin remains a crucial part of the squad. The Rás Tailteann stage winner brings aggression and tactical nous, capable of seizing opportunities in breakaways when others hesitate. Alongside him, Thomas Armstrong has been a consistent performer in National A races, securing top-ten finishes at the Lancaster Grand Prix and the Beaumont Trophy, proving himself as a dependable rider in the biggest domestic one-day events.

If there’s one rider in the squad capable of winning any race on the British domestic calendar, it’s Tim Shoreman. A powerful all-rounder with a fast finish, he has already demonstrated his ability to mix it with the best, winning the Colne Grand Prix in 2023, finishing second in the East Cleveland Classic in 2024 and winning the final stage of the Rás last year.

So Who’s New?

James McKay is a big signing for 2025.  The former Saint Piran rider was one of the most consistent performers in the National Road Series last year, picking up multiple top ten finishes, including second at the Lancaster Grand Prix and third at the East Cleveland Classic.

Mitchell McLoughlin, joining from the All Human – VeloRevolution Cycling Team, brings experience from both road and track racing. As a para-tandem pilot for the Irish Paralympic track team, he has spent much of the last Olympic cycle focusing on the velodrome. However, he has a strong road background and will be a key figure for Wheelbase in the National Circuit Series.

Dexter Leeming-Sykes joins the team after a stint racing in France at Team U Charente-Maritime. His most notable result in the UK came at the 2023 Rapha Lincoln Grand Prix, where he finished seventh on debut – a clear indication of his talent.

Max Bufton, steps up from the junior ranks. Having raced for Tofauti Everyone Active, he was recommended to Reid by Welsh Cycling’s Rob Atkinson. The team is eager to support his transition into senior racing.

The team will be managed by experienced D.S Stu Reid
