Bob Howden has been re-elected as the President of British Cycling.

Howden took over from Brian Cookson in 2012 and was re-elected for a third time at the National Council meeting over the weekend.

In a press statement, he said: "I am honoured and delighted to be given the chance to serve for a third year as President. At the end of my second term, I feel pride for how far we have come – and more excited than ever about where we are going.

“I’m relishing the challenges and opportunities ahead in 2016 – securing a new title sponsor to succeed Sky, making more big strides in our journey to get one million more women cycling by 2020, a home world championships and of course the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

“National Council is a highlight of the year for me – not because I like meetings but because it’s the moment this wonderful sport, with all its different elements and passions, comes together. Cycling in Britain has never been in better health."
