Redchilli Sponsorship

Redchilli Bikes are delighted to be a main sponsor for the new, Elite Women’s Race Team, ProNoctis-Redchilli-Kjeldsen. The team are based in Lincoln, UK, and has been set up by Rick Lister, who will also become Team DS (Directeur Sportif) as they prepare for their first year on the road. Rick brings a wealth of experience, having worked with some of the best, UK teams in the past. ProNoctis-Redchilli-Kjeldsen will be competing at many of the National UK races, and maybe even some races over in Europe. Here’s to 2021 and a successful year with ProNoctis-Redchilli-Kjeldsen.

Rick says: “I think we have a really good chance of winning some races and of course I would love to see the girls on the podium at the National Series and Tour Series.”

As a professional cyclist, Amy Roberts has raced at the highest level. She first represented Great Britain at World and European Championships as a junior on the road and track. In her first season as a professional, Amy joined Wiggle Honda in what was their first year as a professional women’s race team during which time, Amy got to race against the best in the World – all over the World. Amy also represented Wales at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014, which she says was one of her career highlights. Amy raced for Wiggle-Honda (later Wiggle-High5) for 5 years, before moving to a Dutch Team, Parkhotel Valkenburg in 2018. Unfortunately, illness interrupted Amy’s plans for 2019 and 2020, but now her ambition is to be back racing Internationally, and to represent Wales at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Amy says: “I am super excited to be having the chance to ride and represent a British brand, Redchilli bikes. I’m really thankful that they are giving me this chance and are helping me reach my goals.”

Genevieve Whitson is a former, Elite Level cyclist and has been a Redchilli brand ambassador for the past 6 years. Gen is a three-time Scottish National Road Race Series Champion and has raced at the highest level for Road, Cyclocross and MTB. She has competed in 4 World Championships, multiple World Cups and many of the major UCI European road races. Now retired from professional racing, Gen continues to pass on her expertise and now resides back in her native homeland of New Zealand.

Genevieve says: “FR2 is the perfect race machine to tackle the Belgian Pavé. Without doubt, the best bike I have ever raced on.”

Larisa Chinces is a former multiple national speed skating champion from Romania, and multiple record holder who was forced to give up competing and her Olympic dreams due to serious injury. However, Larisa is a uniquely talented athlete, and has in a few short years displayed this with her transition to cycling and skiing. Taking up road cycling and mountain biking at high amateur level in Romania, Larisa podiums in literally every race that she enters; in 2019 coming second to a former professional rider in the Transgarafasan road cycling race. It is reasonable to say that were Larisa in a country with a greater support for cycle sport, she would indeed be competing at a higher level, potentially nationally.

Larisa says: “Thank you for welcoming me to the team. I am so excited and delighted to be a Redchilli Brand Ambassador. I can’t wait to get started.”

Savannah will be racing for Isorex NoAqua Ladies Cycling Team for the 2021 season, marking her second season with the Belgian team. While the 2020 season was disrupted due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Savannah hopes for a full race schedule for the season ahead, mainly in Belgium, but also some races here in the UK. Savannah is an aggressive rider and one for a solo attack/group breakaway, though she is also a solid team member – always there to help her teammates.

Genevieve says: “FR2 is the perfect race machine to tackle the Belgian Pavé. Without doubt, the best bike I have ever raced on.”

Based in Denmark, Tomas started racing in 2015 at the young age of 9 years old. In 2017 and still only 11 years old, Tomas won 4 races in just 3 weeks and has since progressed to several wins over the years. Tomas now rides for the Danish Team, Roskilde Cykle Ring and is coached by the former coach for the Danish National Junior Team. While his plans for 2020 were cut short due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it remains to be seen how 2021 will pan out. However, Tomas is still out training and maintaing his fitness levels.

Tomas says: “The bike is amazing, especially on steep hills. I love it. Very fast and very smooth. Everywhere I go it gets a lot of attention here in Denmark.”

Jules is a Father of two, Secondary School teacher and triathlete. He has been competing in triathlon since 2008 and has raced all distances from Sprint to Ironman. In 2002, Jules suffered a snowboarding accident which left him with one fractured and two compressed vertebrae, requiring surgery to fit a spinal brace. In 2006 he had the brace removed after it snapped in a surfing incident. In 2007, Jules competed in the London Marathon just 6 months after the spinal surgery, and with this, he decided to give Triathlon a go. Jules has been racing internationally since 2012, representing the GB Age group Sprint Triathlon team in Auckland, Chicago, Rotterdam and Glasgow.

Jules says: “What can I say, my Redchilli FR1 not only outperforms bikes I’ve owned that are twice the price, it also looks phenomenal due to the custom paint job. If you’re looking for something special, you’ve found it.”

Redchilli Bikes are delighted to be working with Reece Barr as our “motorsport” ambassador. A rising star in the world of motor sport, 2019 will be another exciting year working with Reece, which will see him racing for Förch Racing in their Porsche GT3 Carrera Cup car. As part of his regimental training regime, Reece rides a Redchilli FR1 and this very Bike is often on display at most of the major race tracks across the UK and Europe when Reece is racing.

Reece says: “The bike is amazing and is great fun to ride. Really helps me progress with my training.”
