“People should expect delays throughout the region throughout the day.  If you don’t want your travel to be disrupted and don’t want to get involved with the event then avoid the route completely for the duration.”

“Our officers, volunteers and staff will be on duty throughout the day in Beverley and along the route to make sure everyone stays safe.  If you see anything we need to be aware of please speak to one of us or call 101.”

“We have three officers in the police motorcycle outriding team who are looking forward to riding ahead of the race and helping to make sure the event runs smoothly and safely – look out for numbers R7, R9 and R10 and give them a wave.”
