Cycling: 20mph speed limit leads to Junior Tour of Wales reroute

The Junior Tour of Wales changes three of its five stages, cutting the length of the race.

For context, Wales recently reduced it’s ‘default’ speed limit down to 20mph.

    Welsh Cycling said it supported the default speed limit being lowered because of the improvement to road safety for cyclists, but said it had “presented some challenges for delivering road racing”.

    I’m confused. Low speed limits with ordinary traffic is safer for cyclists… but this isn’t ordinary traffic. They are support vehicles, used in every major race.

    Whoever is enforcing this law is doing so because they hate cyclists. It’s like petty revenge for motorists having to abide by the lowered speed limits.
