Cyclingnews unveils a new chapter for its subscribers: a dedicated mobile application
In 2022, Cyclingnews made a significant stride in its evolution, implementing a metered paywall on its website[1]. This move marked a shift from a purely advertising-funded model to a subscription-driven approach, allowing the platform to deliver ad-free, subscriber-only content.
The implementation of the paywall aimed to make readers a more integral part of Cyclingnews, involving them directly in supporting the journalism they consume[1]. This shift improved the quality and depth of Cyclingnews’s coverage, enabling the team to produce industry-leading, in-depth content rather than relying primarily on advertising revenue[1].
The transition from an advertising-funded model to a subscription-driven title in 2022 also enabled Cyclingnews to travel to races that better serve the interests of its more passionate audience[1]. In addition, the publication invested in an industry-leading series of supremely in-depth Cyclingnews Labs wind tunnel and empirical tests[1].
To further connect with its paying audience, Cyclingnews launched the Cyclingnews app. This reader-first, subscriber-only offering puts all of Cyclingnews' journalism in a cleaner, more mobile, and more convenient environment[1]. Users must subscribe directly to Cyclingnews on the website before downloading the app to access the full content[1].
The app aims to bring the paying audience closer to the great work done by Cyclingnews journalists[1]. As a result, the 2022 developments at Cyclingnews positively affected their audience engagement and journalism quality by building a loyal subscriber base invested in the content, delivering richer, more ad-free coverage focused on serious cycling fans, and enhancing the ability to send journalists to cover events more comprehensively[1].
Cyclingnews is thankful to everyone who has joined them on their journey and is excited about what lies ahead[1]. The publication is currently experiencing its highest number of paying subscribers ever, with the single biggest month of new subscribers coming on board in July 2025[1].
In 2022, the peloton saw some intense competition. Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) was a significant challenger to Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) in cycling[1]. Meanwhile, Annemiek van Vleuten was the dominant figure in women's cycling, while Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel were the prominent names in Classics cycling[1].
As Cyclingnews continues to grow and evolve, it remains committed to delivering the best cycling journalism to its subscribers. The publication welcomes suggestions for the app and wider subscriber offering via email or an app feedback form[1]. For more information on downloading and using the app, visit the Cyclingnews website.
