Road race in Durban

There is good news for road racing fans. Road races are very dynamic, athletes develop great speeds, this is a truly spectacular event. During the pandemic, such competitions were limited. And on September 11, the Tour of Durban will take place, where athletes will be able to show their skills on a difficult track.

Road racing cyclists are showing great interest in the upcoming event. They have long wanted to participate in an event with a traditional long race, with difficult sections and climbs.

Due to the pandemic, riders were offered a three-lap track on a 135-kilometer freeway. After the restrictions are lifted, the event will become much more complicated and much more interesting.

The start of the race will be given outside the Moses Mabhida stadium, then the riders make a quick lap on the freeway, then along the branded high-speed section down the embankment and back onto the freeway. For the athletes, this is very important, because after 70 kilometers of the race, the most important climb to Pinetown will begin.

Climbing the M7 for the best road riders is the most important element of the competition, and the winners of the race are determined by its passage. A serious climb of fourteen kilometers and then overcoming its summit is the highlight of the entire Tour Durban event. Athletes seriously prepare for it before the competition.

The further race will take place in accordance with the route agreed with the traffic authorities, and from the St. John’s Avenue bridge, athletes will be taken home along the M13.

The winners of the race, taking into account all their achievements on a difficult climb and a fast descent, will be determined on the same day. The number of participants will be limited to 1000 riders. To ensure the safety of the participants of the event, road workers will be involved.
