Monmouthshire will be hosting Stage 5 of the Lloyds Tour of Britain Men’s race on 6 September 2025.
The Lloyds Tour of Britain Men is Britain’s biggest professional cycle race and the UK’s largest free-to-spectate live sporting event.
Stage 5 will start in Pontypool, Torfaen and then head into Monmouthshire, culminating in a double ascent of The Tumble near Abergavenny.

Rolling Road Closures
During Stage 5 of the Lloyds Tour of Britain, rolling road closures will be implemented for a short period ahead of the race passing through, minimising any dangers to professional athletes, officials, spectators and communities along the route.
We plan on utilising a rolling road closure system rather than a full road closure to minimise disruption to the local community as much as possible. Therefore, the road closures will be a maximum of 30-45 minutes as the peloton passes through.
