The world’s top cyclists returned to Suffolk as the county hosted the final stage of the Women’s Tour on Saturday 9th October.

This year’s Women’s Tour champion will be crowned in Suffolk following a day of racing between Haverhill and Felixstowe (155 kilometres)

A characteristic scenic route through the county took the peloton past Melford Hall and through Sudbury before passing along the runaway at Wattisham Flying Station. It passed though Great Waldingfield around 12.20pm coming from the B1115 Sudbury Road.

More details are on the tour website www.womenstour.co.uk

Here are some photos as the racers passed through Great Waldingfield
