The Brompton World Championship, sponsored by Brompton Bicycle Ltd, is a British cycling event held every summer in England and preceded by National competitions around the globe. Now in its 9th year, the BWC features a variety of cycling challenges over the two-day (Orbital Cycling Festival ) period and includes over 800 participants, including the winners of the National Competitions. ==Brompton World Championship 2014== For the second year running the Brompton World Championship will take place in the famous Goodwood Motor Circuit, as part of the wider Orbital Festival cycling exposition. It features three main events, with separate prizes for the category winners in each event and then the grand prize for the overall victor of the Treble. ''Brompton World Championship'' The famous BWC competition (2014 will see 800 entrants) consists of a ''Le Mans'' style sprint start to the folded bikes before completing 4 laps – over 15 km – of the legendary circuit. Dress code requirements are a suit jacket, shirt and tie with trousers/skirts/shorts according to participant preference, with all Lycra and sportswear strictly forbidden. Prizes are awarded to the three fastest male and female competitors, as well as the male and female Junior (between 12 and 18 years of age) and Veteran (over 50 years of age) winners. Teams of between 3 and 5 members are permitted and are placed according to the aggregated time of the team’s top three finishers. There is also a prize awarded to the ‘Best Dressed’ male and female competitors. ''Brompton Sprint'' Only open to the 200 participants who have registered for the Brompton Treble, the Brompton Sprint consists of a 500m sprint organised in heats of 12 entrants before the final. There is no dress code and prizes are awarded to the fastest male, female, junior and veteran competitors. ''Brompton Marathon'' The Marathon consists of a 26km untimed ride through the Sussex countryside, open to 300 participants (compulsory for the Brompton Treble entrants), with food and drink and sightseeing options organised en route. There is no dress code. ''Brompton Treble'' The 200 participants who compete in all three events are eligible for the Brompton Treble; the male and female competitors with the fastest times from the Sprint and the World Championship, together with successful completion of the Marathon, will be the Brompton Treble Champions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brompton World Championship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
