R&D Cycling Team - Watersley

Not your average team

Under the leadership of talent coach Britt Jochems, Christian Kos and ex-professional cyclist Huub Duijn, the Watersley R&D Women Cycling Team rides an international race program. Based on Watersley Sport & Talentpark, this team is part of a unique system, where living and training is combined. With additional training programs we are focusing on development of the individual. Therefore, the Watersley U19 Team and Watersley Race & Development Cycling Team together provide a solid structure for the development of women’s cycling.

It is our believe that when you live and train together, you’ll develop as a team and grow stronger as an individual. STAY – GROW – PLAY
