Criterium des Vainqueurs, a classic end of season criterium which has an enviable list of previous winners from UK, Belgium, Holland and Poland.
EVENTS: Criterium des Vainqueurs
Sunday, 8 October | https://bmcr.org.uk/2023-criterium-des-vainqueurs/
For many years, the Criterium des Vainqueurs end of season criterium was one of the countries most prestigious criteriums on the calendar. Held at the end of the season, it was a requirement that all riders were winners that year so the list of winners is stacked with big names from different eras. In 1981, it was run as the British National Championships and won by Mark Bell. Riders have come from the UK and mainland Europe often attracting an international field.
It was always fast, hard and only worthy winners won! For many years, the event was held at Colchester Barracks and this year, after an absence of nearly 40 years, it’s back but now at the new Colchester Sports Park Cycle Circuit https://colchestersportspark.co.uk/cycle-track/
Promoted by API-Anglia Sport, the team managed by past winner Andy Palmer is for Masters Cyclists run under the BMCR banner. The requirement to be a winner on entry no longer stands and all masters 40 years and over are welcome and can race in their own categories. Anglia Sport – API – Metrow Foods- BodybyJR present the 2023 Criterium des Vainqueurs.
Event format.
— Criterium des Vainqueurs for E/F/G/H/I – 1 hour plus 5 laps
— Criterium des Vainqueurs for A/B/C/D – 1 hour plus 5 laps
If there are enough entries for a separate Women’s race, we hope so! Timings will be amended to accommodate three events in the four hour hire window, otherwise entries from Women will be accommodated in the EFGHI+ race or they can race in the A/B/C/D race based on categories. Over £1500 worth of prizes, as well as primes and spot prizes, flowers and trophies for race winners and category prizes for all categories.
