Team News: GB Paracycling Squads

The squad, which boasts a combined total of 26 Paralympic gold medals and 92 world titles, has dominated cycling for the last decade, topping the cycling medal table at Beijing, London and Rio. The year after the Paralympics has been one of transition, with the introduction of the Foundation level to the para-cycling pathway and the identification of new talent a key goal for the team.

This project has seen early success with Ben Watson, a silver medallist at this year’s UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships in South Africa being named on the podium programme. Watson was identified as part of British Cycling’s Track2Tokyo talent identification programme and made rapid progress winning multiple medals on the road and track in 2017.

The team will face a busy year in 2018. They will return to Rio de Janeiro and the scene of their Paralympic success for the UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in March, with the UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships being held in Italy in August. Riders will also travel to a number of road world cups in the search of vital Paralympic qualification points while the tandem pairings will also travel to Australia to represent their respective countries at the Commonwealth Games.
