News: Time Trial for Tour of Britain
Worcestershire will be the scene of a potentially race-deciding stage when it hosts an individual time trial on day six (Thursday 12 September) of this year’s Tour of Britain.

The world’s best riders will tackle a 14.5-kilometre (nine mile) individual time trial that starts and finishes in the market town of Pershore, and passes through Little Comberton and Bricklehampton during a scenic anti-clockwise loop.
This spectator-friendly day of racing will allow fans to see world-class riders competing up close as they tackle the course individually. The stage is the third of its kind to be held in the Tour of Britain since 2016, following equivalent stages in Bristol and Clacton-on-Sea. “Britain’s cycling heritage is built on time trialling, so we’re delighted that the 2019 Tour of Britain will feature such a stage,” said Race Director Mick Bennett.
The stage will suit reigning British time trial champion Alex Dowsett, a former race leader and stage winner in the Tour of Britain, whose KATUSHA ALPECIN team will be among the 20 world-class squads competing in the event. Residents along the route can support the event in a number of ways, from simply lining the course to decorating their homes or entering the Tour of Britain’s National Land Art competition. Full stage timings will be released in August.
