Holdsworth was a UCI Continental team founded in 2018.[2] Although the team is British-based, with its headquarters in Rotherham, Yorkshire, it is Irish-registered.[3][4] The founding of the team marked the return of the bicycle brand to competition after a 40 year absence, with the Holdsworth name being revived by Planet X founder Dave Loughran.[1] In 2017, the team announced their intention to race in the 2018 Tour de Yorkshire:[5] their place was confirmed in March 2018.[3]
