VIA CRITERIUM

Collage of cyclists participating in a bike race event, with onlookers and urban scenery, including a man with a young girl sitting on a bench, and blurred action shots of riders at speed.

The VIA CRITERIUM sees the best racers from across Europe and further afield come and compete on the technical fast circuit set within the historic KINGSCROSS and Coal Drops Yard.
The architecture and central London location is the perfect backdrop to the high octane racing.

Supported by BRITISH CYCLING the VIA CRITERIUM kicks off on Friday 20 June at 18:00 with racing into the night with FIX WHEEL CRIT and the Community Race being the evenings highlights.

Roll into Saturday 21 June and the riders race from 11:00 into the night as the sun sets late on the Summer Solstice.

A combination of Brompton World Championship heats and Final races, boys and girls youth races, and the Men’s and Women’s Elite races top the bill.

Sunday is reenergised with the Men’s and Women’s CAT 3/4 and a day for riders to experience the thrill of Crit racing with test rides and a real race community celebration.

The weekend is peppered with community and brand ride outs, events and track test rides as the great and the good descend onto the VIA CRITERIUM Race Village located on Cubitt Square.

Expect the best the industry has to offer in terms of bikes and apparel with special offers and activations throughout the weekend.
