Tour Of Britain Comes To Wrexham 2014 (Picture Special!)

Hundreds lined the streets across Wrexham this morning to watch the Tour of Britain cyclists pass through the town on the second leg of the tour.

Cyclists including Mark Cavendish and Sir Bradley Wiggins passed through Wrexham today as part of Stage Two of the cycling event, which began in Liverpool yesterday.

The Tour will finish in Llandudno later on today, before setting off to Newtown tomorrow.

Today’s route through Wrexham saw teams cycle through locations including Holt, Wrexham Town Centre, Rhosddu and Llay.

Many police motorbikes were used to slow traffic down before the cyclists arrived – amusingly one person stood near us asked if it was a motorbike race.

Team Sky were one of several teams taking part in the race today

A number of people have also tweeted us their photos from across Wrexham this afternoon. If you would like your photo featured tweet @wrexham.
