Last update: 10 May.
The countdown begins here.
The 2023 Rapha Lincoln Grand Prix p/b Wattbike might be over two weeks away (it takes place on 14 May), but the provisional startlists have been published and we are salivating already. A race so treasured in the UK it deserves monument status, both the men’s and women’s editions have fields worthy of such a prestigious event.
The men’s race looks set to feature 2022 champion Luke Lamperti, part of a very strong TRINITY Racing team. The UK’s other men’s UCI Continental team, Saint Piran, also puts forward a very strong line-up, while many of the riders from the recently-folder AT85 Pro Cycling have made their way onto the startlist via their new teams. Irish road race champion Rory Townsend (Black Spoke Pro Cycling Academy) is on the startlist. And Charles Page’s new BAI – Sicasal – Petro de Luanda team bring an international flavour to proceedings.
The line-up is no less strong in the women’s race. All three British UCI Continental teams take part, including ANEXO/CAMS CiCLE Classic winner Jessica Finney (AWOL O’Shea), 2022 National Road Series winner Sammie Stuart (DAS-Handsling) and a strong trio of Lifeplus-Wahoo riders. Junior sensation Cat Ferguson lines up with her Shibden Hope Tech Apex team. Hutchinson-Brother UK, the domestic team of the year so far, are present and correct, as ever-strong local outfit Pro-Noctis – Heidi Kjeldsen – 200 Degrees Coffee.
We will have a full preview in due course, but hopefully these provisional startlists have you licking your lips in anticipation already.
