3 UCI world championship events in one day!
Edit: Stolen from Road.cc
This will mark the first UCI Fixie World Championship Race, and is an unmissable opportunity for fixed and singlespeed riders (yes, singlespeeds will be allowed) to show what they are made of and possibly go home with a title… and a tattoo, as that is one of the prizes for the winners. The race is limited to 400 riders, making up five heats of 80 competitors, each completing four laps of the circuit (approx 8 miles). The fastest 80 riders from the heats will then go on to compete in the final which will be five laps (approx 10 miles). It will be interesting to see how whether a fixed wheel or singlespeed free option has any advantage around the Castle Combe circuit.
