Lincoln GP ready for action in 2006

The 51st Lincoln Grand Prix is expected to attract a field containing Commonwealth Games and world championship medallists to race 86 miles around the tourist areas of Lincoln and surrounding countryside on May 7.

Riders will do 11 laps of a circuit that features the 1 in 6 cobbled climb at Michaelgate, which as always will test the legs of competitors during a tough day of racing. A total prize purse of £3000 is on offer, with the first East Midlands rider receiving the JB Harvey Trophy and a prize of £50.
