Prize money for the 2017 HSBC UK | National Women’s Road Series will be equal to the men’s Spring Cup and Grand Prix Series, British Cycling announced today.

British Cycling’s director of cycling, Jonny Clay, said:

“We’re committed to getting one million more women on bikes by 2020 and equal prize money was a big part of this ambition when we launched our strategy three years ago.

“More and more women are getting involved in cycling, particularly at a competitive level, and we are confident that moves such as this one are heading in the right direction of addressing the historic gender divide in our sport.”
