THE UK’s favourite cycle race series is coming back to Redditch next week.

The Tour Series Cycle Race returns for its 7th year next Thursday, May 10 with pro cyclists taking to the streets around Redditch town centre.

The races will take place on the same 1.4-kilometre circuit based around the Church Green West finish area, including the climb of Unicorn Hill on every lap.

Each of the elite races will tackle multiple laps of the spectator friendly town centre circuit, providing a chance for fans to get close to the action.

Previous winners have included Olympic Gold Medallist Laura Trott and this year promises to be another amazing spectacle.

Worcestershire County Council alongside partners at Redditch Borough Council will be bringing the event to Redditch.

Spectators will not only be able to enjoy the main Tour Series event but are also hosting special trial, as well as the usual community and business races.
