British Cycling’s newly appointed CEO Jon Dutton has revealed the organisation’s plans to rejuvenate the domestic cycling set-up in the United Kingdom in the years ahead.

In a wide-ranging interview Dutton said he was also seeking to increase BC’s membership, sign a new headline sponsor and promote inclusivity within the sport after a bruising year of controversy for the governing body in 2022.
