    I’m sure they had many sponsors? Admittedly, I’ve done zero research…

        “One of the riders in the lead group was Britain’s Owain Doull. British Cycling is sponsored by oil company Shell.”

          British Cycling is sponsored by oil company Shell.”

          Visit https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/ and scroll to the bottom. Neither Shell nor Ineos are on the list of sponsors, only lotteries.

          On Twitter the group claims that Ineos is fielding a team, now British Cycling is allegedly sponsored by Shell and yet visiting any of the official web sites does not list any of those sponsors. Must be very shy sponsors.

          Huh, so indeed one of those shy sponsors that don’t appear on the main page in the footer.

          So reading through that, the Shell sponsorship is about bike chain lubricants and electric charging. Yes, very evil things.
