We’re delighted to welcome Teniel Campbell back to the Smurfit Westrock Cycling Team.

After a short spell with the team during the 2025 season, Teniel returns bringing a wealth of international experience, talent, and leadership to the squad.

Team Manager Rick Lister said:

“We’re thrilled to welcome Teniel back to the team. She made a fantastic impression during her time with us in 2025, and we’re excited to have her return as part of our journey. Her experience and quality will be a huge asset both on and off the bike.”

A fantastic ride from Amelia Cebak saw her claim an impressive 4th place at the Tour of the Reservoir.

Amelia bridged across to the leaders in the early stages, forming a six-rider breakaway that worked brilliantly together and was never seen again by the chasing peloton.

The 102km race, widely regarded as one of the toughest on the UK calendar, featured over 1,900 metres of climbing and was made even more demanding by relentless winds that battered the riders throughout the day.

A strong team performance was rounded off by Elena Day, who secured 12th place in a race that saw just 24 riders reach the finish line.

Amelia Cebak – 4th
Elena Day – 12th

Keeping the team hydrated with ACTiPH 💧🚴‍♀️🇳🇱🇧🇪

Whether we’re training, racing, or travelling across Belgium and the Netherlands, staying hydrated is only part of the job — doing our bit for the environment matters too ♻️

That’s why we love the Statiegeldfles system. Return the empty bottles, recycle properly, and even get money back for every bottle recycled 💰🌍

Small habits make a big difference when the whole team gets behind them.

The 4th and final stage of the Sportland Niederösterreich Women’s Tour in Austria from Ybbsitz to the Hochkar ski station was as epic as it looked on paper with the decisive climb to the ski station shaping the final outcome of the race.

Leila Gschwentner retained the lead in the best Austrian competition which she held from day 1 and rode a well paced climb to secure 7th overall on the general classification after 4 tough stages

She also placed 5th in the points classification thanks to the stellar work by the team throughout the event

As a team, although only 4 in number instead of the planned team of 6 we came away happy with the progress made and confident for the upcoming races

Stage 3 of the Sportland Niederösterreich Women’s Tour in Austria saw Leila Gschwentner retain 2nd place in the General Classification after an extremely hot day of racing in Amstetten, with temperatures reaching 32°C.

A smart ride throughout the stage ensured Leila picked up valuable bonus seconds at the first intermediate sprint.

Finishing 12th on the stage was also enough to retain the red jersey as the leading Austrian rider in the race, with one stage remaining tomorrow.
