Lincoln Grand Prix preview with James McKay and Jo Tindley

The Rapha Lincoln Grand Prix is not just another bike race; it is, in our humble view, the most important one-day road race in Britain, a beacon of British road racing tradition, a race that enters the winners into British road racing folklore.

Our latest podcast episode delves into the legacy and strategic intricacies of this storied race, featuring firsthand insights from Saint Piran's James McKay and Jo Tindley (Pro-Noctis – 200º Coffee – Hargreaves Contracting Ltd), delving into the nuances of positioning, race dynamics, and the sheer power required to scale the daunting cobbled Michaelgate climb.

James discusses why the race is so important to domestic riders, provides an insight track on the circuit and considers Saint Piran's National Road Series dominance. Jo, who has raced every edition of the women's race, describes her love-hate relationship with the Lincoln Grand Prix, her strategic shift for this year's race which involves meticulous training on the Michaelgate, and how Cat Ferguson blew her away at the East Cleveland Classic.

Listen now for exclusive insight into the race, and to find out who James and Jo are tipping to win on Sunday.
