This is truly embarrassing 🙈. Hopefully the welsh government will realise and reconsider their stupid policies! It’s killing the economy. They will only realize when it’s too late sadly! 🤯
Oh dear, what a shame, never mind.
They are welcome to come race through our Welsh village.. preschool, pub, village shop with cafe.. all along the roadside.. speed limit 40 mph 🤯
Sounds like it wont go over the Black Mountain now.
Probably one of the most picturesque parts that looks good to the rest of the world.
The Welsh government is brain dead. They really didn’t consider all aspects when they pushed this stupid limit.
7 miles of the 237 total are 20mph? So the organisers found issue with 2.9% of their route.
For the sake of 7 miles, it seems simple to plan around.
Is the road not closed for the event?
Surely the road can be closed and the speed limit changed for the purposes of the event?
It’s not like we’ve never hosted rallying competitions after all.
Seems like a planning error more than anything to me
Imagine all the imaginary people that have been saved by not being run over by a peloton doing 20mph 🤣🤣

Slow news day?
Of course I didn’t, who reads articles about road speed restrictions?
Probably going to get hate for this, but why do bicycles not have to follow the speed limit? Bikes can also hit and kill people…?
7 miles out of how many? This is clearly a hit piece and a nothing story. If it is on open roads it is what it is. Close the roads otherwise.
This is as bad a organising a piss up in a brewery, just goes to show how ridiculous the speed limit is that a fucking cycle race is too fast.
The only people who support the 20mph limit don’t drive. We’re led to be believe by internet strangers this isn’t the case, but any driver you speak to irl doesn’t support it. Just another braindead idea from the Senedd to waste more money.
Quite surprising considering how often I see cyclists going over 20mph on my commute.
Admittedly, it’s a downhill section of the road, but you see them undertaking the cars all the time.
The crazy thing to me is that speed limits don’t apply to cyclists? What TF not?
