british Cycling Engineers Two Extensions

British Cycling has extended its commercial partnerships with UK-based consultancy Lotus Engineering and engineering company Renishaw.

The pair will work with British Cycling to deliver the bike that will be used by the Great Britain Cycling Team track squad at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. 

Building on the relationships that contributed to Team GB’s success at the Tokyo Games – finishing top of the track cycling medal table with seven medals – Lotus, Renishaw and the Great Britain Cycling Team will collaborate ‘to deliver the next evolution of their cutting-edge bike.’

British Cycling Commercial Director, Darren Henry, commented, “We are delighted to be extending our commercial partnerships with Lotus and Renishaw. British Cycling’s partnership with Lotus has a rich and storied history of pioneering innovations, which have contributed to some of our most iconic Olympic successes.

“Renishaw too are truly world leaders in their field, and it’s brilliant to have the best of British engineering working with us to continue to push boundaries for the Great Britain Cycling Team. We are excited to see what we can all achieve together as we build towards Paris next year.” 

Ben Collins, Senior Applications Engineer for Renishaw’s Additive Manufacturing Group, added, “We’re really delighted to be working once again with the British Cycling team after the success in Tokyo. It was great to see how well the bike performed, and now that we’ve renewed the partnership, it will be really exciting to see how we can help improve the bike’s performance for Paris.” 

Matt Windle, Group Vice-President and Managing Director, Lotus Cars, said, “We are thrilled to be continuing this unique and successful partnership with British Cycling. Being involved in the development of such a high-performance machine, and having riders win so many medals riding it on a global elite sporting stage like the Olympics, is fantastic.”
