Scottish Cycling’s Performance Programmes are designed to give riders the best chance of long term success across the disciplines of MTB XC, Track and Road, whilst supporting our very best Scotland based Great Britain Academy and Professional athletes.
At the heart of our system is performance development with specific targets every step of the way as we develop riders towards the next level.

Aims and Objectives
We have a well defined set of objectives for our current Performance Programmes throughout the current funding cycle (2015—19). We are committed to our long term vision of building a system that can support our best athletes competing on the World Stage. In order to achieve this we have two key goals that we are focused on delivering against these aims:
- More Scottish Riders winning more medals at Olympic/ Paralympic, World and Commonwealth level, more often.
