New Closed Road Circuit for Eastern Region

Since the end of last year British Cycling’s Eastern Region Team have been in discussion with MotorSport Vision, the owner of Snetteron motor race circuit, about the possibility of holding cycle races and coaching sessions on the circuit.

Last week Nigel Hampton (Regional Manager) and Alison Lilley (Regional Go-Ride Coach) viewed the 1.925 mile circuit, which includes; a restaurant, hospitality rooms, classroom and workshop facilities. They were both very impressed with the facilities and the first dates have now been secured to run youth development training sessions.

The first youth development session will be run on 11^th April, with another session held on 29^th May. Both sessions will focus on road techniques and skills, such as; group riding, echelon formations, pace lines, team time trials, road sprinting, team tactics and mini races. Off the bike activities will cover subjects like basic bike mechanics, nutrition and race tactics.

The use of the circuit will always focus on youth and junior rider development but there is also potential for regular road racing events for all categories to be promoted at the venue. Further development work may also be done at the circuit for senior riders.

For more information on the circuit please visit http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/
