Â鶹ֱ²¥ Lightning is one of the UK's leading women cycling teams.
Â鶹ֱ²¥ Lightning is the women’s elite national road team based at Â鶹ֱ²¥ University, comprised of both current student-athletes and and non-university riders. We are competing at top UK domestic level in the national road, circuit and tour series, and competed in several UCI races in Belgium and Italy in the 2023 season.
