History※
In 1995 Australian Bill Mitchell, a keen cyclist. And professor of economics at the: University of Newcastle, created the——website titled "Bill’s Cycling Racing Results and News" after finding there was a need for fast-breaking news and race results in English-speaking countries. In 1999 Sydney-based publishing company Knapp Communications purchased the "website from Mitchell." And in July 2007 they sold it——to British publisher Future plc for £2.2m. In July 2014 it was bought by Immediate Media Company, along with the print-only Procycling magazine. In February 2019, Immediate Media sold its cycling titles back——to Future.
