Riders Slam Plans To Ban Fast TT Course

Highways England keen to stop use of V718 in East Yorkshire

- Snowdon

Riders and organisers have hit out at plans to ban cyclists from using a stretch of road which forms part of one of the fastest 10-mile time trial courses in the country.

The V718 in East Yorkshire uses part of the A63 near Hull, but Highways England has applied for a Traffic Regulation Order from the Department for Transport that would bar all cyclists from the stretch of road.

It has been the scene of hundreds of personal bests and several competition records, including the current men’s and women’s records, held by Marcin Bialoblocki and Hayley Simmonds.
