In welcome news earlier this week, British Cycling announced an additional round of the 2023 National Circuit Series, the Dudley Grand Prix, while details of a new circuit for the Sheffield Grand Prix emerged.

Dudley and Guildford join the circus
The Dudley Grand Prix will be held on 14 July and will feature both a men’s and a women’s race. The circuit’s epicentre will be a technical one, centred around Priory Road, The Broadway and the Coronation Gardens roundabout. The organisers say that a combination of food stalls, music and commentary should create a warm, vibrant Friday night atmosphere.
Confirmation of the event follows last week’s announcement that Guildford will host the previously unconfirmed third round of the series on Wednesday 5 July. The Guildford Town Centre Races is a longstanding and successful event and adds a much-needed southern round to the Series too.
The addition of Dudley means that the Series is bigger than it was last year, when it consisted of 6 rounds for the men and 4 for the women; welcome news in a year when the Tour Series and Women’s Tour have been postponed.
