A REAL international flavour is promised as teams from across Europe have submitted teams for a cycling race held in Tynedale.

The Beaumont Trophy, part of the Cyclone Festival of Cycling, is again proving popular with top cyclists from across the continent as teams sign up for the June 18 event in and around Stamfordham.

On the back of the announcement ONE Pro Cycling will again take part, Spanish outfit Ciclista Racing Cycling TEAM, GD has submitted their entry, as has French team ESEG Douai.

UK-based teams have also signed up with a new team of U23 riders, the 365 Bikes Academy, on the list, alongside Godfrey Bikewear Vision Express RT and Team KTM.

Beaumont Trophy organiser Peter Harrison said: “As one of only a handful of UCI single-day races in the UK, the Beaumont Trophy is a great place for up-and-coming British teams to test themselves against the best riders in the UK, with continental riders adding to the experience.”
