📢 STOP PRESS: Lightning's Lucy Harris is leading the @britishcycling National Road Series!

🏁 Lincoln GP 🏁

After another impressive showing at Lincoln GP taking 8th place on the infamous Michaelgate finish line, Lucy secured the points to move into the overall lead of the national road series!

A strong team effort supporting Lucy saw Miraim and Georgia finishing in 52nd and 70th respectively, while Penny was unfortunate to crash out in the later stages of the race. Despite a strong effort, Roisin was outside the time limit.

Knesselare 1.15a P4 !! 🤩

After my first couple of races in Belgium, I quietly knew a top 10 was within reach. I didn’t expect to close 1’20” with two laps to go, catch the break as the sprint opened up 🤏🏼 and come within a few bike lengths of the podium in just my fourth Belgian race 🤯

A result I’m incredibly happy with and would have dreamt of at the start of the season, but definitely one that has left me hungry for more.

They’re not lying when they say the legs are better on day two eh

A huge thank you to all of those in my corner 💜 and to @max_holgate_coaching for building the engine ⛽️

Final 2026 standings for The British Continental road race rankings.

Two team titles, both decided on the last day of the season at Walton.

Loughborough Lightning came in 38 points behind DAS–Hutchinson, with two riders on the startlist and the leaders at home. Fifth for Georgia Lancaster and 13th for Rosie Simmons was worth 46. Lightning take the women’s team title by eight.

Ride Revolution Coaching led JAKROO Handsling Racing by 17 and brought seven riders to their two. Oscar Nisbett’s second place was JAKROO’s answer; fourth and sixth for Clay Davies and Josh Housley was Ride Revolution’s. The open team title is theirs by 36.

The individual titles were settled before the weekend: Lily Martin (Loughborough Lightning) on 582 points, 147 clear of Morven Yeoman, and Thomas Armstrong (Wheelbase CabTech Castelli) on 578, 130 clear of Danylo Riwnyj.

Moorsele 1.15a 🇧🇪

First proper taste of Belgian racing didn’t disappoint. Gave it a nudge and spent two laps solo gaining 45 seconds on the bunch, picking up 2x primes 💰 finished in the bunch - P36 - just lacking some elbows in the final. Came away with some power PBs and enjoyed racing a fast, flat circuit. Looking forward to a couple more races here!

A brilliant day of racing for the Lightning team at the North Yorkshire Grand Prix. ⚡
Strong rides from the whole team, and a fantastic 3rd place for @lilymartin44 securing her 2nd place overall in the National Road Series.
