The Rapha Lincoln Grand Prix
Rapha returns for the fourth year as title sponsor of Britain's oldest, and greatest, one-day race. We’re proud to support grassroots racing and keep Britain’s cobbled classic alive, so join us on the famous Michaelgate climb for a thrilling day of cycling action.
Saturday 11th – Sunday 12th May
Saturday
We’ll be in Castle Square from 10.30am–8pm offering coffee, limited edition merchandise and a curated selection of Rapha products. Expect Lincoln GP caps, socks, stickers and the ever-popular cowbells. We’ll be cheering on riders arriving after a testing day out at the Lincoln GP Sportive, followed by the riders taking part in the Michealgate Challenge in the evening.
The Michaelgate Challenge is a hill climb challenge up Lincoln’s infamous cobbled Michaelgate, that will see the riders cross the same finish line that will be used in the Rapha Lincoln GP the following day. There will be races and prizes for youth, junior, senior and vets categories. Find out more and enter here (opens in a new tab), or come to spectate.

Sunday
We’ll be right in the heart of the action with the H Van and a pop-up shop in Castle Square, directly opposite the finish line. To keep spirits high, we’ll also have a presence on Michaelgate where you can watch the riders take on the steepest section of the relentless cobbles.
