Walsall will welcome the Women’s Tour, the world’s leading international women’s cycle race, for the first time in 2021.
Stage two will start at the Walsall Arboretum, the area’s famous Victorian park, and culminate with a finish on Lichfield Street in the heart of the town and in front of the Walsall Town Hall. There will be lots to watch on the 10-kilometre clockwise circuit around Hayhead Woods, Barr Beacon nature reserve and Pool Green that will be tackled 10 times.
The circuit will include three intermediate sprints at Barr Common (on laps four, six and eight) as well as offering points towards the ŠKODA Queen of the Mountains competition at the top the Barr Beacon climb (1.2km long, maximum gradient of 5.7%) on laps five, seven and nine. A thrilling run in to the line is guaranteed, as the top of the climb on lap 10 comes just 6.5 largely downhill kilometres from the finish. In total the stage measures 103 kilometres (64 miles).
Walsall will become only the third venue – after both Stoke-on-Trent and Chesterfield in 2017 – in history to welcome both the start and finish of a Women’s Tour road stage on the same day.
This is such a key stage to watch as the riders will be riding the same lap multiple times and we are going to be spoiled to seem them so many times in one day! Stand anywhere you want, it’s going to be great. I, however, will be at the top of the QOM. Get there nice and early, it’s going to be busy!
