British Cycling CEO says there is 'no easy solution' to 20mph restrictions issue faced by UK race organiser

Junior Tour of Wales.

British Cycling CEO Jon Dutton said there is "no easy solution" to the introduction of 20 mile per hour zones, which caused problems for one race organiser in Wales earlier this year, and is likely to affect more events in the future.

Back in late August, the Junior Tour of Wales was forced into a last minute route change due to just eleven kilometres of 20mph zones featuring on the course. The race eventually went ahead as planned, although race organiser Richard Hopkins was faced with an array of challenges to overcome in order to make the event happen, including the collapse of a planned legal mitigation.
