THE ORGANISERS of the IG London Nocturne and London Bike Show have signed a deal to bring the race event to the ExCeL- set show.
The deal – between Vos Media and FACE
partnership – means a version of the Nocturne will take place at next January’s show. It’s the latest step to build on the event’s position, according to Vos, ‘adding a new dimension’ to the show offering. The Nocturne’s creative race programme
incorporates an Elite Criterium featuring British and international pro cyclists. It will run over the full four days of the show, with a Media/Industry race, a Corporate City race, the Elite Criterium, a Women’s Elite Criterium and Youth Racing. Other Nocturne favourites like the Folding Bike and Penny Farthing races will also appear at the London Bike Show. “We’ve been working on this partnership
for a number of months and we’re excited to be teaming up with FACE Partnership and bringing this fantastic, entertaining series of racing to the show,” commented LBS show director Geraldine Reeve. “Nocturne Series has run events all over the UK and we’re delighted to welcome it to The London Bike Show. This partnership will play a key role in the development of the show and I hope this will be the start of a long and successful partnership between FACE Partnership and
