Road closure details have been announced for the 2022 Women’s Tour professional cycling race in Oxfordshire .
Stage 6 of the 2022 Women’s Tour (the Oxfordshire stage of the race) will take place on Saturday, 11 June, with around 100 pro-cyclists racing from Chipping Norton to Oxford City.
There will be rolling road closures from 11.00am from the race start area in Chipping Norton, controlled by police and route marshals, which will continue along the route to Oxford.
This will involve highways and junctions, with access roads onto the route closed for short periods while the race passes through. The length of closure depends on how dispersed the riders are.
The complete road closure locations along the route, with predicted race timings, are listed on Oxfordshire County Council’s website.
Redbridge Recycling Centre, temporary closure
As the race will pass close to Redbridge Recycling Centre, the site will be closed between 1.30pm and 3.00pm. All other household waste and recycling centres are scheduled to remain open as normal.
The route in detail
The race will start in Chipping Norton’s High Street and pass through many picture-postcard locations, including taking in one of Britain’s most loved areas, the Cotswolds.
It will head as far north as Milcombe – a short distance from Banbury where Italian rider Marta Bastianelli triumphed in the 2021 race – before changing course and travelling south through West Oxfordshire towards RAF Brize Norton in Carterton.
