LINCOLN GRAND PRIX 2025 : Race Highlights + Katie Kookaburra

2025 Highlights from the Lincoln Grand Prix with action from both the Women’s and Men’s races.

The first Lincoln Grand Prix was held in the summer of 1956 and had attracted a strong entry. After 90 miles of racing Bob Eastwood from Huddersfield RC narrowly outsprinted former Tour of Britain winner Tony Hewson and local star Nev Crane.

The following year produced an even better Field, when Wilson Cycles Independent Ron Coe starting his 3 year domination of the event, beat super sprinter Dave Bedwell at the line. The same two riders where first and second the next year and Coe completed his hat-trick by beating Bill Bradley and Harry Reynolds in 1959. This race was marred by tragedy when local rider Roy Hart who had been in the leading group all day, came off the back, and hit a van when starting the last lap. The Roy Hart memorial trophy is still presented to the Grand Prix winner.
