Olympic gold medallist Bradley Wiggins is competing in a cycle festival today.

The cyclist will start the hill climb at 2pm, with the main race happening at 7:30pm this evening, starting at Pier Street.

The race loops all around our beautiful seaside town, so keep your eyes peeled.

Bradley in action

Bradley isn’t the only Olympic celeb, with appearances from Ed Clancy and Steven Burke also expected.

First year Environmental Earth Science student and cycle enthusiast Jem McPartlin said: “It’s great to see an Olympic gold medal winner making the journey out to ride in Wales, we have some really challenging terrain that is often overlooked.

“British cycling has taken a huge leap forward over the last few years, and Bradley Wiggin’s success is undoubtedly the leading factor.

“Let’s just hope it does’t rain.”

The weather looks good for tonight so get yourselves out to see our cycling superstar – he may even come out to drop some moves in Yoko’s.
