Tour Series: Circuit for Aberdeen Revealed
Thursday 25 May will see the centre of Aberdeen transformed to welcome The Tour Series for the first time, turning the city centre into a race circuit for the likes of former champions JLT Condor and Madison Genesis
The 1.2-kilometre circuit around the compact city centre will provide a stunning backdrop say the organisers to a fast and furious night of criterium racing, with the architecture and vocal Scottish crowds setting the scene as the race is broadcast around the world.
Aberdeen is hosting Round Eight of the nationwide Series.
The Lord Provost of Aberdeen George Adam said: “This event will ignite the city’s heart as the cyclists are put to the test racing past some of Aberdeen’s historic landmarks, such as Aberdeen Art Gallery, His Majesty’s Theatre with the start and finish on the city’s iconic Union Street.
In total ten teams will take to the Aberdeen circuit, including a Scottish national team, and race it out in the hour long race starting at 19:30. Earlier in the day an exciting programme of races will take place on a revised version of the circuit, with events between 13:00 and 18:00 using a route, that takes in Belmont Street and Little Belmont Street that will provide a stunning backdrop to the competitive races across the day.

Commenting on the circuit, Tour Series Race Director Mick Bennett said; “We are looking forward to bringing The Tour Series to Aberdeen this May. The circuit will showcase the heart of Aberdeen combining a very fast, flowing opening half of the lap with a more technical finale, including the slow last corner and a deceptive drag to the finish line on Union Street.”
Aberdeen is one of two Scottish venues hosting rounds of The Tour Series in 2017, with Motherwell hosting Round Seven on Tuesday 23 May. It will be the third time that the Series has visited the North Lanarkshire venue.
