Humble beginnings.

Just an idea.

A fool's hope.

2024. Started with 15 riders, most had never raced. One promotion to show for it.

Then a tidal wave.

As we gear up for 2027, we hope to rub shoulders with the elites once more. Same goals, an opportunity to progress & learn.

Just a different starting point.

Still a long way to go, but quietly proud of how far we've come.

Trying hard not to get Gapped!

NOT Nocturne Racing lately.

There was a strong showing at the recent MK Bowls Crit, with Alex joining the Leicester lads, all coming away with points 💥

Over in London, Joe has been turning consistency into points, after 'cracking the code'. He'll be joining others in the C3 category before long 👊🏽

Tonight? We're at Hog Hill. Arguably the toughest crit in the lands!

You can see how much this one means! Third for Alex & promotion too 💥
Perseverance & hard work paid off 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

Great to see so many at Velopark last night, with an unfortunate mechanical for Imran.

Shout out to Peter & Deelan, taking on the 2,3,4, finishing safely in the bunch.

When we started Gapped, we knew the issue wasn’t talent — it was access. Our community has always had the ability, but the opportunities were missing. That’s what we set out to change. This podium isn’t just a win; it’s proof of what happens when belief meets backing. We’re not expecting to flip the sport overnight, but make no mistake — we’re here to close the gap.

When we took to the canvas for this year’s training jersey, we weren’t just designing kit — we were crafting identity.

In a sea of plain and predictable, we chose to boldly break the silence.
Colour that pops.
Design that speaks.
A jersey that moves with meaning — whether you’re climbing hills or carving through city streets.

This one turns heads before the legs even start spinning.

Available now — but don’t hang about.
Last orders: 30th June 2025.
