Organisers have said a cycling race has been shortened and
rerouted due to Wales' 20mph default speed limit.
Three of the five stages of the Junior Tour of Wales, which starts
today, have been changed as support vehicles would not be able to
keep up with the riders without speeding, Azernews reports, citing
BBC.
The race's finish has also been moved from Nantgaredig, Carmarthenshire, the home of three-time Olympic cycling medallist Emma Finucane.
The Welsh government said it had worked with organisers to make sure the race could go ahead safely.
