Content funding on Cyclingnews
At Future Publishing Limited, we rely on advertising to keep bringing you the content you love to read. The majority of the content on Cyclingnews is created solely by our editorial team, but on occasion we also work with external partners to create content we hope our readers will find interesting and useful.
In some cases the partner provides content for us, but in others, they support us in producing content while we maintain editorial independence. This additional content is labelled so you can see who has funded it and how it was created, and we have created this page to make it clear to you exactly what those labels mean about how the content you're reading was funded.
Supported Editorial
Articles that are labelled as being written 'in association with' are independent editorial articles, created by writers employed by Cyclingnews that have been funded through the support of a commercial partner.
When planning supported content, a senior editor will agree the topic and the headline of the article with the funding partner but is not obliged to take further direction from the partner.
The article is written by a Cyclingnews journalist, or one under the direction of a Cyclingnews senior editor, and posted to Cyclingnews. It is not sent to the funding partner for approval. This content abides by the Editors' Code of Practice from the Independent Press Standards Organisation.
Advertisement Feature
Articles that are labelled 'Advertisement Feature' are paid for and controlled by a commercial partner. They may be produced by the client or by staff employed by Cyclingnews. This is commercial content and so is subject to the Advertising Standards Authority and Federal Trade Commission regulations.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
