Tour of Britain timings and route as road race returns to Nottinghamshire promising fast paced entertainment

Competitive cycling returns to the district today (September 8) when Nottinghamshire hosts stage five of the Tour of Britain cycle race.

It will run through many Advertiser area communities and we will provide the timings.

The Nottinghamshire leg starts in West Bridgeford, taking cyclists through some of the regions most picturesque places, before finishing up in Mansfield.

A small number of road closures involving the surrounding areas of the start and finish lines are expected, with a rolling road closure system for locations in between.

The length of closure of the rolling road block depends upon how dispersed the riders are. Typically, the lead motorcycle instigating the closure is 15 minutes ahead of the lead rider. The closure then remains in place until all riders and race cars have passed through.

It is hoped that street art will be put up along the route and crowds are urged to line the roads to support the athletes.

The race is due to pass through Southwell just before 1pm.

Councillor Martin Stott, chair of Southwell Town Council, said: "Southwell Town Council is delighted that the Tour of Britain will be coming to our neighbourhood.

"We are looking forward to seeing lots of visitors who will be able to park for free and visit our attractions, shops and cafes as well as seeing the celebrity cyclists ride through the centre of town.”

The race will set off from West Bridgford at 10.45am and is expected to finish in Mansfield at around 3.30pm, although times could change depending on the pace of riders.

A complete list of road closures will be published in advance of the race on Nottinghamshire County Council’s website.

Timings for expected arrival are given based on the predicted fastest pace, but this may vary by up to 15 or 20 minutes.

Those from the Advertiser area looking to grab a glimpse of the peloton as it rushes past can do so in Cotgrave (approximately 11.36am) Cropwell Bishop (11.42am) and Cropwell Butler (11.45am) before the race heads into Radcliffe at 11.49am where riders will then pass along Cropwell Road, Main Road and up Shelford Road towards Shelford crossroads (11.53pm).

The route then continues through; Shelford (11.56am), Gunthorpe (12.00pm), Lowdham (12.03pm), Lambley (12.09pm), Woodborough (12.22pm), Calverton (12.24pm), Farnsfield (12.47pm), Edingley (12.51pm), Halam (12.53pm).

For Southwell, lead cars are estimated to arrive at 12.30pm, followed by fast pace cyclists roughly 25 minutes behind them but times may vary.

The route of this year's tour will pass through Southwell's streets from Saversick Lane (12.54pm), to Oxton Rd (12.55pm), along Westgate (12.56pm), then wrong way up King Street (12.57pm) and down the Burgage (12.58pm) before continuing along Station Road.

There will be no parking on The Burgage and Station Road on the September 8 to allow for this and both King Street and Queen Street will be closed during the morning.

After leaving Southwell, the race will then continue to; Hockerton (13.01pm), Caunton (13.07pm), Norwell (13.13pm), Ossington (13.18pm), Moorhouse (13.21pm), Normanton (13.30pm), Fledborough (13.35pm), Upton (13.48pm), and Edwinstowe (2.35pm).

Along the route there will also be three sprint sections at Edingley (12.51pm), Retford (1.57pm) and Clumber Park (2.24pm).

David Lloyd, leader of Newark and Sherwood District Council, said: “To have the Tour of Britain return to Nottinghamshire again is great news for everyone in the county.

“As the world’s best cyclists make their way through Sherwood Forest and our very own towns and villages, the eyes of the world will be upon us and we can’t wait to deliver the best race we possibly can.”

The Tour of Britain 2022 starts in Aberdeen on Sunday, and finishes on the Isle of Wight seven days later.

It will be televised daily on ITV4.

Tour of Britain 2023 Stage 4 - Sherwood Forest to Newark

Wednesday 6 September 2023 | Stage starts at 11.15am and is expected to finish at around 3pm Stage starts at Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre | Stage finishes at Sconce Park in Newark Free event

The Tour of Britain is back in town on Wednesday 6 September.

The eagerly anticipated Nottinghamshire stage of this year’s Tour of Britain cycle race will start at Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre and will finish in Newark.

The Tour’s fourth visit to Nottinghamshire in seven years represents another chance for the sprinters. Despite being the third longest stage of the race, the route between the Sherwood Forest visitor centre near Edwinstowe and Newark-on-Trent features a little over 1,200 metres of climbing.

The National Trust site of Clumber Park, Worksop, Retford, Southwell, Tuxford, and Collingham will feature along the route. The peloton will also pass the Tom Simpson Memorial in Harworth, which celebrates the life of the 1965 world road race champion.

The winner of the race’s second visit to Newark-on-Trent will be crowned close to the banks of the River Trent and just a short distance from the town’s famous castle and the spectacular St Mary Magdalene’s Church.

Colombian sprinter Fernando Gaviria triumphed when the race last finished in Newark-on-Trent six years ago, winning a dramatic four-way finish involving Italian Olympic champion Elia Viviani, European champion Alexander Kristoff and five-time Tour of Britain stage winner Dylan Groenewegen.

Tour of Britain in Rushcliffe and Nottinghamshire just days away

The fifth stage of The Tour of Britain national cycling race is only days away and cycling fans, residents and businesses are eager to celebrate the prestigious sporting event as it returns to the Borough on Thursday September 8.

All the latest information including an interactive map, where to watch the race, arrival times in each community and associated rolling road closures can be found here .

Anyone seeking support on how their community can welcome the race should email [email protected]  

The race starts on Central Avenue at 10.45am with pre-race entertainment from 9am as the atmosphere builds to give a warm Rushcliffe reception for stage 5 of the race.

The race will continue through Compton Acres, Ruddington, Bradmore, Bunny, East Leake, Costock, Wysall, Keyworth, Plumtree, Normanton on the Wolds, Tollerton, Cotgrave, Cropwell Bishop, Cropwell Butler, Radcliffe on Trent and Shelford before finishing in Mansfield.

It is the third time the showpiece event will take place in the county and is in conjunction with Rushcliffe Borough Council, the Tour, Nottinghamshire County Council, Mansfield District Council and other local authorities and follows the hugely successful staging of the race in 2017 and 2018.

The 190km route, approximately 118 miles, will attract a global television audience of millions and will again be aired live on ITV4.

In 2018 the Nottinghamshire stage attracted 250,000 spectators to make it the largest sporting event in the county’s history, leading to our area enjoying an economic boost of £3.9 million being spent by participants and spectators on accommodation, food and drink and shopping.

Residents and businesses in villages and towns across the Borough are embracing the spirit of the event with posters, banners and decorations now set to highlight the event in the remaining days before the event.
