Saint Piran

The team's name is taken from the Cornish abbot Saint Piran. The team's jersey draws inspiration from the Cornish flag and the Cornish tartan, and is somewhat unique in that it features no sponsors.[3] Alongside its UCI Continental team, Saint Piran also maintains development teams and a women's team.[4]
