This year’s rides are set to be epic and I’m thrilled to partner with Wahoo Fitness and their incredible new ELEMNT ACE cycling computer!

Wahoo has been a trusted partner for several years, and their intuitive, customizable tech continues to be a game changer for both my racing adventures and coaching. From effortless phone setup with fully customizable screens, to the planned workouts features, and so much more. When you're redlining in a race or battling a mid-ride hunger knock the easy to use features of a Wahoo cycling computer shine. Paired with the KICKR MOVE I have the ultimate training setup.

The super sized display on the ACE is perfect for monster training rides at home and navigating race courses across the UK, US, and Europe. Let’s lead the way together for bigger adventures!

Welcome back Schwalbe tires! This is a partnership that has spanned over a decade, Schwalbe were with us during our under 23 Vauxhall team days, through my best mountain bike years which included four national titles and a seventh place at World Championships, and now they support my gravel racing adventures today.

In 2025 we’re taking it to the next level, I’ll be racing on Schwalbe’s new G-One Pro gravel tyres at the biggest UK, US, and European races including the Traka, Unbound, and UCI Gravel World Championships.

There have already been so many adventures rolling on these tyres and there’s so many more ahead. Thank you to Schwalbe for the incredible support.

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be sponsored by Reeves James Solicitors for the upcoming race season! Having a backer from outside of the sport who believes in the value I can offer is a huge motivator. I'm very lucky that Chris, who's a passionate cyclist himself, reached out to me with the opportunity. Their work as a specialist construction law firm is of the highest level, the same high standards I wish to achieve in my racing this year.

Reeves James, based in the historic market town of Dorchester they are within touching distance of the Dorset coastline and central to some amazing cycling routes and events. I'll be making frequent visits to the area to enjoy the fantastic cycling on offer. Last summer I was lucky enough to ride the beautiful Old Chalk Way from Dorchester back to Reading, a 10 hour ride which was one of the highlights of the year. One of my favourite events, Stone Circle, goes within 20 miles of the offices. Other events like Dorset Divide and Dorset Gravel Dash start close by.

Their partnership will play a crucial role in helping me chase my goals, from training to race day, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support. Stay tuned as I kick off 2025 with their support, a huge thanks to Reeves James Solicitors for being part of this journey.

Chris, director of Reeves James Solicitors, added:
"With exceptional talent and a relentless drive, Ben is dedicated to training day in and day out, constantly pushing his limits. As a national champion, he represents the very best of the sport, particularly in the ever-popular gravel cycling scene. We look forward to being part of Ben’s journey in 2025 as he continues to excel and inspire others along the way. Many of our clients share a love for cycling, and we look forward to organising a social ride around the beautiful Dorset countryside with Ben in the Spring.”
