Madison Genesis was a British-based professional road cycling team, registered at UCI Continental level and competing in domestic and European competitions between 2013 and 2019.
Founded in 2013, the team was announced in July 2012[1] as a platform for developing UK road cycling talent. Team manager Roger Hammond stated[2] that the team's success would be judged on how many riders progress on to the next level of UCI Professional Continental or World Tour racing.
Since, Alex Peters – one of Hammond's first signings – joined world tour Team Sky for 2016,[3] while Scott Davies joined Dimension Data for 2018.[4]
Tom Scully progressed from Madison Genesis in 2014-15, to professional continental team Drapac in 2016 and rode for world tour Cannondale-Drapac in 2017 and in 2018 EF Education First-Drapac p/b Cannondale.
Mark McNally joined professional continental squad Wanty Groupe Gobert in 2016.
In 2018 Connor Swift took the team's biggest victory to date, becoming British national road race champion.
In 2019, Swift joined UCI Pro Continental team Arkéa–Samsic midseason, while Matt Holmes and Jon Dibben signed for World Tour team Lotto-Soudal at the end of the year.
The team announced it would cease racing at the end of the 2019 season.[5]
