The HSBC UK National Road Championships will take place in Lincoln. Scheduled for a rearranged slot in the calendar from 14-17 October 2021 the event will begin with time trials on the Thursday before circuit races on the Friday and road races on Sunday. All the national champions will be crowned during the same week for the first time in the event's history and the free slot on Saturday will give punters the opportunity to ride a sportive and the Newells Michaelgate Hill Dash.
No word yet on the route, but event organiser Dan Ellmore did hint that the famous cobbled Michaelgate climb will be used. The event has been put together by British Cycling with the help of the organisers of the Rapha Lincoln Grand Prix which was postponed this year due to covid restrictions. Lincoln last hosted the National Championships in 2015 when Lizzie Deignan and Pete Kennaugh won the jerseys.
"Winning my third national road title in Lincoln in 2015 was a really special moment and I’ll never forget the noise and the atmosphere of that day," Deignan said. "It’s a race that all riders want to win and after the past year I’m sure that will be truer than ever this October.
"The growth in the number and quality of female British riders since the last time the race was in Lincoln in 2015 has been absolutely incredible to see and I know that competition for the national champions’ jerseys will be fiercer than ever this time around."
