Madison Genesis has named its 2013 squad, predominantly an under 23 team that is seeking to be a UCI Continental team.

Roger Hammond, Madison Genesis Team Manager, said: "The last few months have been inspiring. To start with a blank sheet of paper and go talent spotting to find some incredible U23 riders and to be given the opportunity to sign well known British names has been great.

“When Madison Genesis was announced, we were contacted by many young British riders looking for a chance to shine and I have enjoyed finding out what a depth of talent we have in this country. This team is a well-considered selection and we can't wait to get racing. The structure includes five under 23 riders combined with very experienced riders so we can pass on their knowledge as well as develop them further.

Great Britain Cycling Team rider Andy Tennant added: "The move to Madison Genesis was the perfect one for me, with the team outlook and ethos reflecting my own. I feel that the coming season with Madison Genesis will be an exciting one which will help me to continue improving and claiming some great results."
