Speaking to MCN, Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson, said: "The road surface on the course is excellent and we have fantastic support from the Highways Agency.
"Steve Plater and Matt Neal have been doing a lot of laps over the last five months so I have now produced a comprehensive risk assessment. There are some changes to be made to maximise safety and we’ll have line of sight marshalling around the entire lap.
"It’s a 12.8-mile course, but at this stage we don’t know an exact lap time, but we think it will be around eight minutes. It’s a time trial event so a rider will go every 10 seconds and we’re aiming for between 30 and 36 riders as we need time for the grid to be clear by the time the first rider comes round again."
Preparation for the race will be immense, with a reported 2,500 centre white lines to be treated, 1,050 cat’s eyes to be removed and 177 manhole covers treated with anti-slip.
