Kuota-road.cc check out their bikes and prepare for Dengie

Things are coming together for Team Kuota-road.cc, this week team director, Cherie Pridham and our two Dutch riders, Jef de Bruin and JJ headed up to Kuota UK's Ormskirk HQ to see their new Kuota Kebel frames which will be built up for them with SRAM wheels and componentry. The bikes will be ready next week as will the new kit – we'll be posting pics as soon as the team strip lands.

In the meantime the guys are preparing for tomorrow's Dengie Tour of the Marshes, a little slice of Belgium in the Essex Marshes a tough ride, against a top field, over farm roads with the wind whipping in off the North Sea and, depending on which weather forecast you believe, the chance of some typically Belgian weather too. Good luck lads!

We'll let you know how they get on tomorrow…
