We’re excited to announce that Reeves James Solicitors will sponsor Ben Thomas, a four-time national cycling champion and one of the most ambitious gravel and mountain bike racers in the world, for the 2025 season.

Ben has built an extraordinary career, with highlights including four National titles, UCI Gravel and MTB podiums, top 10 finishes in some of the world’s biggest events, 8th in the UCI World Rankings, and 7th at the UCI World Marathon Championships while representing Team GB. His victories also include two overall wins and 13 stage wins at the prestigious BIKE Transalp.

In 2025, Ben’s calendar will expand to include gravel events worldwide. He’ll compete in the major UK races, select events from the Life Time Grand Prix in the U.S. including Unbound, the Gravel Earth Series in Europe (including the Traka), and the UCI Gravel Series, culminating in the World Championships in Nice, France. Ben is also eager to find time to enjoy local Dorset-based events.

For Ben, this partnership is a pivotal opportunity to reach new heights in his racing career.

“I’m thrilled to have the support of Reeves James Solicitors for the upcoming race season! Having a backer from outside the sport who believes in the value I can offer is a huge motivator. I’m very lucky that Chris, a passionate cyclist himself, reached out to me with this incredible opportunity.’

‘Their work as a specialist construction law firm is of the highest level—the same high standards I aim to achieve in my racing this year. Based in the historic market town of Dorchester, they are surrounded by stunning cycling routes and events. I’ll be visiting the area frequently to enjoy the fantastic local rides. One of my highlights last year was riding the beautiful Old Chalk Way from Dorchester to Reading, a 10-hour adventure I’ll never forget. Events like Stone Circle, the Dorset Divide, and the Dorset Gravel Dash are also within reach of their offices.

This partnership will play a crucial role in helping me chase my goals, from training to race day, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support.”

Chris, director of Reeves James Solicitors, added:

“With exceptional talent and a relentless drive, Ben is dedicated to training day in and day out, constantly pushing his limits. As a national champion, he represents the very best of the sport, particularly in the ever-popular gravel cycling scene. We look forward to being a part of Ben’s journey in 2025 as he continues to excel and inspire others along the way. Many of our clients share a love for cycling, and we look forward to organising a social ride around the beautiful Dorset countryside with Ben in the Spring.”

As part of this exciting partnership, Ben will visit the Reeves James offices in spring for a meet-and-greet ride with staff and clients. He will also join them at the Rouleur Cycling Show in November 2025.
