Cycling’s innovative Hammer Series could be heading to Britain in the future as it looks to expand its global reach.
The series, with an emphasis on competition between teams rather than individuals, is effectively cycling’s equivalent of Twenty20 cricket, packing the action into three short races — a climb, a sprint and a chase — to crown an overall winner over the course of a weekend.
It was devised by Velon, a company which is jointly owned by 10 WorldTour cycling teams.
