Harry Tanfield is set to race for his own results after taking a step back from the WorldTour and signing with Ribble Weldtite for the 2021 season but is aiming for a return to the top tier of cycling as soon as possible.

Tanfield was left with scarce options after Ag2r La Mondiale decided not to renew his contract, and with other WorldTour teams full in what is a difficult, pandemic-afflicted transfer market.
“I was speaking to a few teams at a higher level; a lot of the teams this year are full, have re-signed guys they had from the previous year,” Tanfield told Cycling Weekly.
