Leicester Castle Classic 2016


The annual Castle Classic race in Leicester is the finale of the national elite road series and features top level riders taking in a 80km race around a 4km course that is famed for being fast and technical. The course lists Leicester Castle, The Mile Straight and King Power Stadium home of Premier League Champions Leicester City among its route landmarks. The stadium also hosted Race HQ, The Race Village and this years Start/Finish line. A number of top UK teams where on show including Team Wiggins, Raleigh, NFTO and JLT Condor who's roster included local favorite George Atkins.
