Welcome to Arrivae by the cycling podcast, proudly supported by Lloyds.

In 2024, Lloyds began a multi-year partnership with British cycling,

supporting the sport from grassroots level, right up to the world-class riders

who represent Team GB in the world and European championships.

You may have spotted the famous Lloyd's

horse logo on the Team GB jerseys. Lloyd's is also the title sponsor of the nation's flagship stage

races, the Lloyd's Tour of Britain Women and Lloyd's Tour of Britain men. Lloyd's also sponsors

the national championships and national series races across a range of disciplines.

And although the UCI Road World Championships in Rwanda begins to count down to the end of the road racing season,

Lloyds support cyclists of all kinds, whether racing indoors or outdoors throughout the winter and into the spring.

Starting soon are the Lloyd's National Trophy Cyclocross series series and Lloyd's National Track series and the calendars for both

of those series are on the British cycling website so if you want to go and watch

some of the best riders in the country in action you can find out where and when

they're racing there. So whether it's cycling indoors or outdoors,

racing for medals or exploring the countryside with your friends and family, Lloyd's is there at every stage.

lovely Rebecca Chalden who was, who's just been telling me, you were doing the comms, weren't you,

the commentary, weren't you, Rebecca, for the world feed, was it? Commentary for Eurosport
