The Rapha Lincoln Grand Prix (formerly the Witham-Valley Grand Prix) is a road bicycle race that starts and finishes in Lincoln. The 2021 version was 166 km long.[1] The race is characterised by its ascent of Michaelgate, an iconic cobbled climb in the centre of Lincoln with a maximum gradient of 20%.[2] The Lincoln GP has run since the summer of 1956,[3] making it the oldest annual bike in the UK, that still runs today.
