Totnes-Vire Race
Oddicombe Hill time-trial moves to Saturday afternoon
The first two stages of this weekend’s Totnes-Vire Two-Day cycling stage race have been switched, with the spectacular time-trial up Torquay’s Oddicombe Hill now taking place on Saturday afternoon.
It was originally intended to hold the lung-bursting four-hairpin test from Oddicombe Beach as Stage One in the morning.
But a double-booking at Paignton’s Torbay Velopark has prompted a swap, so the first stage of the 51-year-old race will now be a 42-mile ‘Criterium’ at the Velopark, starting at 10.45am on Saturday.
The action will then move to Oddicombe Hill for the threequarters of a mile climb against the clock, with the first rider away at 3.30pm.
The hill will be closed to traffic for the duration of the event.
The Totnes-Vire’s third and final stage will still be held over a gruelling 70-mile road race course between Hatherleigh, Halwill Junction, Okehampton and Jacobstowe on Sunday (10.30am).
