Stars of the British racing scene packed into the Hitters’ Grand Prix racing for the two grand first prize
![]() |
Wednesday (August 14)
The event is the brainchild of one Britain’s top road cyclists, Team Sky’s Luke Rowe, winner of a stage in the Tour of Britain in 2012 and leader of the race for a time. The race, the “Hitters Grand Prix†will take place on the 14th August at the Llandow Race Circuit just outside Cardiff, and will offer the winner one of the biggest prizes in British domestic racing. The first prize of £2,000, a £500 prime, and £500 for the minor placings is thanks to the main sponsor, Cardiff based Truly Scrumptious Cakes.
As well as the Elite race, there will be a race for Category 2, 3, 4, and Women riders, the “Chippers Grand Prix†and children’s races, the “Nippers Grand Prixâ€, where all the prizes have been kindly donated by cycle clothing manufacturer and Team Sky sponsor Rapha.
