Cyclingnews.com is a website providing cycling news, race results, bike-related reviews and buying advice owned by Future.

History[edit]

In 1995 Australian Bill Mitchell, a keen cyclist and professor of economics at the University of Newcastle, created the website titled『Bill’s Cycling Racing Results and News』after finding there was a need for fast-breaking news and race results in English-speaking countries.[2][3] In 1999 Sydney-based publishing company Knapp Communications purchased the website from Mitchell,[4] and in July 2007 they sold it to British publisher Future plc for £2.2m.[5][6][7] In July 2014 it was bought by Immediate Media Company, along with the print-only Procycling magazine.[8] In February 2019, Immediate Media sold its cycling titles back to Future.[9]
