WOMEN’S CYCLING: Lifeplus-Wahoo, Britain’s most successful and longest-running UCI women’s cycling team, has withdrawn from all racing after failing to raise enough financial sponsorship support following its omission from this year’s Tour de Femmes.

The team had already suffered a huge setback before this year’s Tour of Britain when all of its bikes were stolen.

Team member Kate Richardson is the current British track individual pursuit champion.
