Got this email from a friend who works for the British Tour:
Hi All,
This summer the UK’s top professional cycling teams will battle it out gladiatorial-style in The Tour Series, a 10 round town and city centre series around the UK.
The Tour Series is a revolutionary new concept in cycle racing which brings unique and exciting team racing to the streets of the UK. Unlike any other UK cycling series The Tour Series is not based on individual athletic performance, but instead on team performance.
Starting on the 21st May, in Milton Keynes, 10 teams of five highly-tuned professional cyclists will engage in combat against each other to become the overall champions of The Tour Series. Each night the teams will aim to place their top three riders in the highest positions at the end of one hour of intense, fast-paced and attacking racing around a 1-1.5km city centre circuit - delivering all of the thrills and spills of this high-speed sport.
Starting at 7pm on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, The Tour Series promises to create a festival of cycling-based activities and races that will generate a carnival atmosphere at each of the chosen venues. Each round will be televised via a major Terrestrial broadcaster.
The dates are as follows:
21st May - Milton Keynes
28th May - Exeter
2nd June - Woking
4th June - Peterborough
9th June - Blackpool
11th June - Southport
16th June - Stoke on Trent
18th June - Colchester
23rd June - Chester
25th June - Southend on Sea
10 of the very best professional teams in the UK have been invited to race in the Tour Series, many comprising internationally and nationally renowned cycling stars, with the teams being chosen on performance, as well as strength in squad numbers. Each team consists of a squad of between eight and 12 riders and from the squad five riders are nominated for each race.
