Excellence
British Cycling runs the lottery-funded GB Cycling Teams in Road, Track, Mountain Bike Cross-Country and Paralympic cycling and is offering an increasing amount of support to the GB team in non-Olympic disciplines. The teams are selected, managed and equipped to a high standard and in the last five years, Great Britain has made significant progress up the rankings in most cycling disciplines.
