Chef d’equipe for the under-25 squad David Sheerin said: “I am incredibly excited to work with this talented group of young riders as we begin our preparations for Millstreet. They represent the future of our sport and it is a privilege to support them on their journey. The depth of talent within the U25 programme as a whole is extremely encouraging and I look forward to seeing these athletes continue to develop as we build towards the Championships and beyond.”
Darrell Scaife, Head of Youth said: “The long list reflects a strong group of proven combinations that have consistently performed at the required standard, while also keeping opportunities open for a handful of emerging partnerships with the potential to challenge for individual honours or contribute to a team medal. I would also like to thank The Howden Way for providing on-event veterinary and coaching support at our U25 observation trials.”
