These are the expected times for spectators to watch the Velothon Wales this Sunday across south Wales.
Up to 16,000 cyclists are expected to take part in the closed road cycling event which includes a 140km course and a 110km course.
The route leaves Cardiff to the east, heading through Newport and Usk, before entering the Brecon Beacons National Park, home of the legendary Tumble climb. The route then heads south via Pontypool and Newbridge on its way to Caerphilly for one final climb up Caerphilly mountain, before finishing with a fast descent towards the finish line, in the heart of Cardiff city centre.
For those planning to watch the event throughout the day, these are the expected times the cyclists are expected to be arriving at each part of the course.
