About

Founded in 2021, 258 Protégé is a cycling management agency under the 258 MGT brand.

258 Protégé will work across all aspects of the sport including talent representation, contract negotiation, commercial endorsements, sponsor search and negotiation and corporate events.


258MGT has positioned itself as an industry leader, managing athletes from turning professional to becoming World and Olympic Champions. What 258MGT has achieved within boxing and the commercial position and brand portfolio it sits in is unparalleled in the sport of boxing. Anthony Joshua is one of the biggest sports icons on the planet and that doesn't happen without a committed team behind him.

We look forward to replicating this model with professional cyclist's and offering a hands on approach with a select number of talents over the coming years. We are in a unique position to disrupt the market and challenge the current shortfalls of the commercial elements of the sport & utilize the full support of the team 258MGT has built around AJ across legal, financial, PR and social media industry leaders.

Having identified and worked with some of the best young talent the past eight years WorldTour, Women’s World Tour, Pro Continental and Development teams trust our opinion on talent. Outside of the cycling bubble we are the best connected commercial agency barring none.



258 MEANING
“People always used to tell AJ that to be successful you have to work 24/7. He always thought, imagine if I worked as if I had one more hour, one more day. 25/8 - is what we stand for.”

Finn Fisher Black turns World Tour

"I'm really happy to be joining the UAE Team Emirates family. With such a diverse group of riders and staff it makes for a really special atmosphere that I can see myself thriving in," Fisher-Black said in a UAE Team Emirates press release. "Stepping up to World Tour and finding my level and rhythm will take time but I hope I can contribute to the team leaders and in time, bring home some nice victories along the way as well."

UAE Team Emirates CEO Mauro Gianetti has ensured the team's long-term success with several extended contracts, including Pogačar through 2026, Juan Ayuso through 2025, Fisher-Black and German sprinter Felix Groß through 2024, and Mark Hirschi through 2023.

"Finn is a very young rider with enormous talent," Gianetti said. "It's no secret that our goal is to nurture young talents as we are doing with Pogačar, [Mikkel] Bjerg, [Brandon] McNulty, Hirschi, Ayuso and so many others. We are building a team for the present but also for the future."

Jamie Barlow of 258 Protégé: "Finn becomes our first rider to sign World Tour which is a landmark moment and a special one for us at 258, for Finn and his family, UAE Team Emirates have already shown they are developing a young ambitious team and within that environment I believe the name Finn Fisher Black will be one the cycling World hear's a lot of over the coming years."
