has awarded cycling's governing body over £37 million for elite cycling
through to Rio 2016. Ian Drake said:
“At British Cycling, we take seriously the responsibility to deliver good
value which comes with lottery funding. We believe that winning medals is
not an end in itself but a means to growing the sport as whole. “Today’s
announcement from UK Sport is recognition of the success of our riders, our
coaches and the work we put into identifying new talent. “It is also a
challenge for us to do better over the next four years – particularly in
para-cycling where we have received substantially increased funding. “In 2012 we
have seen unprecedented results for British cyclists but there is still work
to be done to improve the sport in this country.”
