Adrian Mawdsley, National Trade Sales Manager of Raleigh UK Ltd, the distributors of the Lapierre range of bicycles stated “Lapierre are proud to sponsor the TLI Cycling race series as part of their commitment to road racing from World Tour level through to grass roots. TLI Cycling offer easy, accessible access to races for all abilities and this fits perfectly with our philosophy of Lapierre offering a bike to suit every rider at every level.”

Lapierre are offering an overall prize list of £2,000 and the overall series winner, based upon points accumulated by each rider in all of the TLI Cycling age categories, will receive a top range Lapierre road bike. In addition the winner of each age category in each event will receive a special race winners jersey.

Graham Weigh, the series coordinator, explained that “although the 2018 series events all take place in the north west of the UK, TLI Cycling is a national cycle racing organisation and we would like to think that the series could be expanded to cover other regions in the years to come. I would like to thank Raleigh and Lapierre for the interest shown in TLI Cycling and I believe that the series will provide the opportunity for some really exciting cycle racing”.
