Have you ever fancied yourself as a jersey winner at the Tour of Britain? Well, you may not have been in the peloton at the start of the pro event as it got underway on Anglesey today - but thanks to points competition sponsor Chain Reaction Cycles, you can race for one during each stage of the eight-day race.
The Chain Reaction Wattbike Challenge will be located in the expo zone at the end of each stage, and will be looking for the rider who sets the fastest time over 250 metres on the stationary bike each day, the winner receiving a jersey.
The expo area will also feature bikes from Northern-Ireland-based Vitus, including the Vitesse Evo road bike ridden by the An Post-Chain Reaction team in the race.
To encourage fans to get into the spirit of the race, the online retailer will also be giving away cowbells and clappers at the finish as well as running competitions through local press.
Lok out for some exclusive behind-the-scenes blogs from Chain Reaction here on road.cc throughout the week-long race.
And don’t forget, if you’ve entered our Fantasy Cycling competition for the national tour, you can win a Vitus Zenium Disc road bike supplied by Chain Reaction.
Full details of the race including spectator information can be found on the Tour of Britain website.
