Tour of Britain 2023 Route stage 5: Felixstowe - Felixstowe
Thursday 7 September - The 5th stage comprises a loop north of start and finish venue Felixstowe. At 192.4 kilometres it's the longest race of the Tour of Britain, while the elevation gain does not exceed 1,000 metres.
On paper, crosswinds and echelons are the only possible things that could stand in the way of a bunch sprint. After all, the entire race is played out near the coast, mostly on exposed terrain. The only other possible obstacles appear early in the race. The climbs in Freston (900 metres at 3%) and Holbrook (500 metres at 3.2%) are done and dusted before kilometre 50.
The clockwise loop of stage 5 takes the riders through Suffolk’s quintessentially villages such as Hadleigh, Needham Market, Stowmarket, Framlingham, Leiston and Woodbridge.
Positioning will be essential when it comes to a sprint, as two 90 degrees lefthanders mark the last 600 metres.
