Saint Piran

Saint Piran Pro Cycling Team is a British UCI Continental cycling team based in the region of Cornwall in southwest England. It was founded in 2018 with the intent of developing Cornish cycling talent and getting an invitation to the Tour de France within five years as a UCI ProTeam.[1] After three years as an Elite National team, the team moved up to the UCI Continental level in 2021.[2]

The team's name is taken from the Cornish abbot Saint Piran. The team's jersey draws inspiration from the Cornish flag and the Cornish tartan, and is unusual in featuring no sponsors.[3] Alongside its UCI Continental team, Saint Piran also maintains a women's team.[4]

At the end of the 2024 season a controversy emerged around the unbranded bikes used by the team. While the frames were not UCI approved, the team had applied fake UCI approval stickers.[5]
