Caerphilly Mountain to host spectacular finale for September’s Tour of Britain Two ascents of 10 per cent climb in south Wales will help determine winner of this year’s race cycling
Mountain will provide a spectacular backdrop to what organisers hope will be a gripping final showdown in this year’s Tour of Britain as the race returns to the climb in South Wales for the first time in a decade.
“The Tour of Britain and Women’s Tour are the perfect showcase for our landscape as well as the welcome we provide to the competitors and spectators - and we look forward to working with our Local Authority partners as the Tour of Britain continues to reach new areas Wales. Seeing some of the world’s best riders is also an excellent way of inspiring people to get active and explore Wales on their bikes.
“We are confident that, with the help of the Welsh Government and our stakeholders in Wales, we have achieved just that with a route that will take the outcome of the Tour down to the final climb. Stage eight is going to be challenging for these amazing riders, feature a true party atmosphere along the route, and will look incredible on TV for those watching around the world. I cannot wait!”
