The calendar for the National Road Series will grow in size in 2026, with an extra event added for both the female and open categories.

The series is the highest tier of racing in the UK and is overseen by British Cycling . Next year, the women’s series will consist of eight rounds, while the men’s will count seven; the new round, details of which are still to be announced, is scheduled for 12 July.

It is possible the new round is a returning event that was previously part of the series. The placeholder falls in the same mid-July slot as the Lancaster GP , which was on hiatus last year, although no announcement has been made regarding its return. You may like
