UCI Women's Road World Cup: Coverage, Sponsorship and British Winner

For women’s racing to be successful it needs to receive coverage and funding, and the UCI Women’s Road World Cup in 2014 received both.

Oh, and British rider Lizzie Armitstead won – an added bonus for us in Great Britain.

Every one of the nine rounds received TV coverage, with highlights and a race round up produced.

In addition, training video creators The Sufferfest came forward as sponsors for the series – at the time, founder of the company, David McQuillen said: “We are looking forward to our investment supporting the UCI Women World Cup and continuing to assist with the growth of women’s cycling.”
