The story continues: Rapha remains title sponsor of The British Continental for 2026
There are partnerships that feel transactional, and there are partnerships that feel properly rooted in the sport. Rapha’s support of The British Continental has always felt firmly in the second category.

We are delighted that Rapha will continue as title sponsor of The British Continental for the 2026 season.
Rapha’s renewed backing means a great deal to us. It gives us stability, belief and the means to keep doing the work that matters: covering domestic road racing with care, seriousness and presence. It helps us get to races, report from the roadside, publish race previews and reports, commission photography, conduct in-depth interviews, and follow the stories that give the sport its character.
Just as importantly, it helps keep that coverage free to read.

At a time when independent coverage of British domestic road racing remains fragile, that kind of support matters. Rapha’s sponsorship is not simply a badge on the masthead. It is an investment in the visibility of the scene, and in the idea that this part of the sport deserves sustained attention.
Rapha’s continued backing also comes at a moment when its commitment to the domestic scene is visible in other important ways. The Rapha Super-League returns in 2026 in a tighter, sharper format, with fewer rounds, higher stakes and a stronger sense of season-long narrative. We are proud to be working closely with Rapha on the Super-League again this year and look forward to covering it in depth as the season unfolds.
That matters because domestic road racing in Britain has never lacked for quality or drama. What it has often lacked is visibility, continuity and sustained attention. The Super-League helps provide some of that shape. In its own way, so does this partnership.
For The British Continental, Rapha’s support is not just branding. It is an investment in proper, independent coverage of the sport: coverage that treats the scene seriously, pays attention to its details, and remains rooted in the people who make it what it is.
We are very pleased to be continuing that work with Rapha in 2026.
Our thanks to Rapha for its continued belief in what we do, and in the value of giving British domestic road racing the coverage it deserves.
There is another season ahead. We will be there for it.
