The letter has now been signed by more than 650 people, including numerous Olympians and world champions, British Cycling’s Olympic and Paralympic programme lead, the parents of current riders and sporting figures beyond cycling such as Martina Navratilova and Daley Thompson.
The letter says that women’s riders were ready to boycott last week’s national track cycling championships after the Welsh transgender cyclist Emily Bridges had her entry accepted, even though none of the riders have publicly explained why they felt so strongly on the issue.
Blower-Porter told Telegraph Sport that “because of sponsorship they are muted” and outlined their fears over a potential backlash. “Look at JK Rowling,” she said."
And the financial difficulties for women are here too:
"A survey last year by The Cyclists' Alliance starkly demonstrated the financial challenges that are routinely faced by women’s cyclists and the importance of their existing sponsors.
The number of women in the professional peloton that are not paid a salary as part of second-tier team contracts actually increased from 17 per cent in 2018 to 34 per cent in 2021.
More than a third of ‘professional’ riders also had a second job alongside their cycling career."
