Local Legend Mike Piper joints Velorefined for 2021!
VeloRefined Rule 5 Aerosmiths are pleased to confirm and welcome Mike Piper to the team for 2021. Mike is a very well known and popular TT specialist in Kent with a string of great results, wins and records.
Previously racing with Abellio RT Mike brings a formidable set of guns to the team which will help ensure team award results but no doubt also more individual podium spots for the team.
With racing disrupted by Covid 19 already in 2021 we expect the whole team including Mike to be primed at just the right time to take advantage and gain plenty of success during the season.

Mark Hill 2nd in Age Group at National Circuit Champs!
It certainly was a long and difficult season in which all the team faced huge disruption to race plans and training schedules. The team started 2020 in super form after their annual training camp.
However, despite Covid 19 curtailing the camp the extent of disruption to the season wasn't expected. The challenge became staying fit and ready or even motivated to race at the point events switched back on.
Despite this Mark Hill was our last rider to race in 2020 and did so at the RTTC National Circuit champs. Despite having a training reboot due to fatigue a creditable 2nd fastest time in the 50-54 age group was achieved at least enabling some consolation in a tough year.

Rule 5 Solutions to Continue Support in 2021...
Rule 5 Solutions will continue to support the team in 2021. The team recognises that it is a very small contingent of specialists and all support makes a critical difference.
The new Rule 5 bidons are especially vivid featuring the brand eagle that appears on the Team's fabulous high viz blue Endura kit.
VeloRefined Rule 5 Aerosmiths is also grateful to our other key supporters Simon Smart of Drag 2 Zero and Tim Lawson of Secret Training, both of which enable the team's riders to compete at the highest levels.
Technical optimisation and leading nutrition products have been key to the team's success for multiple seasons and not least 2020!

VeloRefined Nutrition & Technology
The Team's success, is in part driven by our long standing associations with Tim Lawson for nutrition through Secret Training, and for technology through Simon Smart of Smart AeroTech and Drag2Zero. The Team also benefits from Simon's links with Endura who supply our custom TT suits and from 2019 our custom made training kit and TT helmets.
The Secret Training range of products is amongst the best available as used by the Tinkoff Team and by Mitchelton Scott to great effect! VeloRefined riders especially use the Stealth range of products to support their training, racing and active recovery.
Our association with Simon Smart has mainly developed through Kevin Tye's work with him to support aerodynamic gains in the wind-tunnel, especially for his highly successful World Champion title bids. Simon has unrivalled knowledge and experience as an aerodynamicist stemming from his F1 past and close involvement with the development of many of the top-end TT bikes, TT suits and equipment used today.
The latest weapon deployed by the team is the Endura Drag2Zero Aeroswitch TT helmet, which not only helps us go faster, but also ensures we have a clear view of the road ahead.
