Both of those incidents occurred overnight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Jakroo Handsling, which competes at UK national races and UCI calendar events, expanded from a debut with eight British riders last year to an international roster with 10 riders this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Part of the team competed at The Peaks 2 Day p\/b Velo Dege stage race March 14-15, with Oliver Dawson finishing sixth overall.

Bike theft in London has become organised and brazen. Today it crossed the line into violent robbery. Senseless really, when you realise how much damage the bikes sustained as they were in the process of being stolen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thefts aren&#8217;t limited to amat last year&#8217;s Tour de France, 11 bikes were taken from the Cofidis team truck before stage 2. A month later at the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a, as many as 18 bikes were stolen from Visma-Lease a Bike team vehicles prior to stage 3. Both of those incidents occurred overnight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Jakroo Handsling, which competes at UK national races and UCI calendar events, expanded from a debut with eight British riders last year to an international roster with 10 riders this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Part of the team competed at The Peaks 2 Day p\/b Velo Dege stage race March 14-15, with Oliver Dawson finishing sixth overall. It was not clear if the bikes involved in the rooftop raid impacted participation by any riders at the event, which was held in the Peak District and more thann 250 kilometres north-west of the incident in the London suburb.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Bikes used by amateurs and pros have become targets for robberies. <em>Cyclingnews<\/em> recently provided several key steps that anyone should take for prevention of theft as well as what to do if recovery is needed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\" id=\"DV1Q8PoiB0v\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by JAKROO Handsling Racing by Promethean Sports (@jakroohandsling)<\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/pro-cycling\/violent-robbery-caught-on-camera-as-british-teams-race-bikes-ripped-from-locked-roof-rack-in-broad-daylight\/&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/DtXJgLtygp7u9vjSM3YfTA-2560-80.jpg&#8221;] Pro Cycling &#8216;Violent robbery&#8217; caught on camera as British team&#8217;s race bikes ripped from locked roof rack in broad daylight News By Jackie Tyson published 16 March 2026 Local police informed, licence plate number of suspects and video of incident shared on social media to &#8216;raise awareness and push efforts to improve [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,68],"class_list":["post-1831694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-cyclingnews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1831694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1831694"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1831694\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1831694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1831694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1831694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
