British Cycling to cut U23 road programme, cites 'incredibly challenging financial landscape'

podcast, rumours emerged that British Cycling and the Great Britain Cycling Team would be cutting its road programme for U23s from 2024, head coach Matt Brammeier admitting "we just can't afford it anymore".

And while British Cycling insists it will continue to send British riders to the UEC Under-23 European Road Championships and UCI Road World Championships, there are concerns some will see their racing opportunities cut.At last week's Nations' Cup Orlen event, two of the five stages were won by British riders, race wins that were facilitated by Great Britain's presence at the race.

"So, I'm sure everyone knows the medals on the track are more controllable, there are more of them and there's a higher percentage change of winning them which is why the majority of the focus goes there as well as a lot of other events. With the road we're in the position where we just can't afford it anymore."
