Trinity Racing, founded in 2020 by Tom Pidcock, has only been active for three seasons, but has already established itself as a reliable pipeline to the World Tour for young talent looking to turn pro.

Pidcock, a multi-talented all-star, won the U23 Giro d'Italia with Trinity before moving to Ineos Grenadiers in 2021; in 2022, Ben Healy (EF Education-EasyPost) and Ben Turner (Ineos Grenadiers) and in 2023 Thomas Gloag (Jumbo-Visma) and the Jayco-AlUla pair of Blake Porter and Rudy Quick moved in the same way.

But already the World Tour giants are turning their attention to the next selection of future stars currently on the Continental's development squad.

Pre-season training camps have given UAE Team Emirates, Sourdal Quickstep, and Jumbo Visma the opportunity to prepare for the upcoming season, while several of Trinity's young talents have also participated.

French 18-year-old Paul Manier placed fourth in the Junior World Championships road race in Wollongong and will step up to U23 this season.

Twenty-year-old Luke Lamperti, who finished fourth in the Tour de Taiwan, is part of Jumbo Visma. Meanwhile, Finlay Pickering, a 19-year-old Englishman who won the Tour Alsace, is spending time in both Jumbo and the UAE this winter.

This time gives teams the opportunity to check in with riders up close, and riders gain experience in a WorldTour team environment.

Jumbo-Visma told WielerFlits (open in new tab).

"Finlay and Luke are examples of talent. They have caught our eye in a positive way and we are eager to get to know them better.

"Seeing their work up close gives us a better understanding of their personalities and also allows us to experience up close how our team works.

This experience is not the first for Trinity athletes. For example, Grogg, a stage winner of the Tour de L'Avenir, told Cycling News last year that he ultimately chose the Dutch team and attended two Ineos training camps before racing as a stagiaire late last season.

Grischa Niermann, director sportif of Jumbo Visma, told Cycling Weekly (opens in new tab) this week that, "I think the Colombian riders are very good at what they do. For example, it's probably not going to be a Colombian rider, but a Scandinavian, a Scandinavian, an English rider, etc.

"We didn't sign Thomas or invite Finlay because they are English.

Trinity Racing (open in new tab) has 20 riders for the upcoming season, with riders from England, Colombia, Ireland, Norway, Brazil, France, Australia, and the United States.
