Nuun-Sigma Sports-London Race Team Announces 2020 Line-up

Nuun-Sigma Sports-London heads into eighth season with the addition of  David Hewett – formerly of Ribble Pro Cycling – and announces 2020 roster.

The Nuun-Sigma Sports-London Race Team has announced its 2020 line-up of riders and sponsors – with Saddleback staffers Richard Mardle and Justin Hoy returning for the 2020 season along with a selection of our brands.

Established in 2012 by Cameron Fraser, the team is a regular sight at top-tier races such as the Tour Series, Lincoln GP, National track meets plus numerous National B and regional track races across the south. Often lining-up alongside top professional riders in the UK and abroad, the team’s focus is as much on creating high quality content for sponsors as crossing the finish line first. This devotion to generate engaging, accessible content from a squad consisting of riders all with full-time jobs is cited as the secret to the team’s successful and long term relationship with its sponsors.

Nuun-Sigma Sports-London ended 2019, its most successful season to date, as the eighth-ranked team in the UK. The team took 53 race wins on the road and track, including eight wins on the road, a World Masters Track Championship title, two National Masters Criterium titles, one National Masters Road Race title and one National Masters Track Championship title as well as wins at both Scottish Elite Track and Criterium Championships, an international stage race win, and a national-level stage race win.

This impressive haul of victories was achieved by 13 riders and three dedicated volunteer support staff all balancing race commitments with full time employment.

As the team's very first sponsor, Nuun Hydration continues its co-title sponsorship with the aim of promoting the clean and natural hydration product range, which has expanded considerably since it began its sponsorship. Sigma Sports, the UK's leading multi-sports retailer, is continuing its many years of commitment to supporting the team as co-title sponsor. With its famed flagship store in South West London and recent announcement to open a second multi-sports store in Oakham, Rutland, Sigma Sports is an incredible resource for the 2020 season.

There’s just one new addition to the team in David Hewett, formerly of Ribble Pro Cycling continental team, who joins for the 2020 season. This is David’s seventh season on the road, having ridden for teams in both the UK and Belgium, in which time he has won several National B road races, secured fourth in a Belgian 1.12B kermesse, won two regional races in Spain and achieved a top-10 position in a UCI 2.2, as well as recording many impressive TT performances.

Since graduating in 2016, David competed full-time for three years and lived abroad in Girona whilst running his own e-commerce business, before deciding to move to London last June to start work as a management consultant, which he now balances alongside training.

Retaining many of the team's 2019 riders, the 13-strong squad will look to continue to race mainly in the UK with trips to France, Belgium and Spain throughout the season. Sadly, Martin Lonie, who has had one of his most successful seasons ever in 2019, departs for Australia with his wife Anna to start a new life. Martin will continue to fly the team flag down under for the remainder of the 2020 season and the team wishes him and his wife all the best for their future.
