Tour of Britain comes to Exe

The country’s biggest cycling race is visiting us today


Exeter on the whole, compares poorly other cities when it comes to sporting attractions. Anyone who has seen a football varsity (and can remember it) will confirm that. The Chiefs pull some crowds in but really pickings are pretty slim most of the time.

Former world champion Mark Cavendish will be racing

However this afternoon will serve up a feast of entertainment in the form of two Olympic champions and a peloton of other top class cyclists.

The Tour of Britain, with Sir Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish at the fore, will be bombing down Pennsylvania Road this lunchtime. So cancel your dates in the Ram and head out at 12.15 to get a glimpse of some sporting legends.
