Team Ancillotti UK is the largest and arguably one of the most successful teams on the UK and European Downhill circuit. Were very lucky to have had some seriously talented riders on the team over the years and this year is no exception.

The guys on the team are away racing almost every weekend at home and abroad and show amazing commitment and consistency, if you think about it in a sport which is both dangerous and physically demanding on both body and bike, where a crash which costs you a fraction of a second can be the difference between first and second place. Downhill is a sport where you also have to be mentally strong, and to come out with podium winning performances weekend after weekend is quite something.

However this is what the team often achieves with help from our sponsors who provide us with some of the best equipment out there and support team who go to great lengths to make sure the bikes are always running sweet.

We are also committed to helping bring forward younger riders alongside the guys on the full team, we help out other young-up and comers through co-factory sponsorship deals with the astonhill junior development programme. Our belief is that riding should be good fun, podiums are great but are not the be all and end all of riding or what the team is all about. We are also committed to helping the guys fulfil their own personal goals on the racing front.
So there you have it a strong, talented and motivated team backed up by a hard working support crew, a winning combination.
