Race Timings For Isle Of Wight Leg Of Tour Of Britain Revealed

Tour of Britain (C).

With less than eight weeks to go until the Tour of Britain heads to the Isle of Wight, race timings have now been released.

An approximate guide has been published. It shows the event is expected to start between 11am-11.45am in Ryde.

Riders will then embark on a 150-kilometre route to the Needles.

The race is also due to pass through Sandown, Yarmouth, Cowes, Newport, Shanklin and Freshwater Bay.

The Isle of Wight Council says the timings are approximate.

"As this is a live sporting spectacle the only timing of which we can be absolutely certain is the start time", it said.

Confirmation is being sought by race organisers, Sweetspot.

As Isle of Wight Radio previously reported, the Isle of Wight leg will be the eighth stage of the event.

Organisers are promising it will be "the toughest ending" to the Tour of Britain in modern history.

It gets underway on September 11.
