The Isle of Man will host round eight of the 2019 HSBC UK | National Men’s Road Cycling Series next summer.

The three-day event will take place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 2, 3 and 4.

British Cycling yesterday confirmed the dates for next year’s men’s and women’s HSBC UK | National Road Series.

The 10-round men’s series will see team and individual series champions crowned at the Leicester Cycle Classic on August 25, while the women’s titles will be claimed at the culmination of their eight-round series at the Ryedale Grasscrete Grand Prix on August 18.

British Cycling’s commercial director, Jonathan Rigby, commented: ’We’re delighted to be able to confirm the dates for next year’s men’s and women’s HSBC UK | National Road Series. The calendars for both series will provide challenging, enjoyable racing for riders, and fantastic venues for cycling fans to follow the action.

’Progression of the series is an ongoing process and, thanks to effective collaboration with teams, hosts and organisers, there are some positive steps: new race routes - such as those in Leicester, Bristol and the south east; a town centre finish for the Tour of the Reservoir; and what promises to be a thrilling addition to the men’s series - a three-day stage race in the Isle of Man.’

Male and female national champions will both be crowned at the HSBC UK | National Road Championships, which will take place in Norfolk between June 27 and 30.
