Cycling race website accidentally censors Welsh village name

The official cycling body of the UK has apologised for accidentally censoring a small Welsh village’s name on its event listing.

Last weekend, a junior road race between three cocks in Powys took place in two stages.

However, before later correcting the error, the British Cycling website listed the village as Three followed by five asterisks.

Stages one and two of the national series, which took place over the bank holiday weekend in August, were held in the village.

Stage 1 was a 76km (47. 5 km) sprint course through the village’s rural roads. A 10km (6 miles) time trial was included in the other.

In nearby Monmouthshire and Blaenau Gwent, the other stages were held.

British Cycling expressed regret for this ostensibly censorship, which was brought on by some overly sensitive filters on our website.
