Registration is open! Positions on the grid will still be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

From the Brompton Team:

The Brompton World Championship V will be held on Sunday 3rd October 2010 at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire. The event, now in its fifth year, its third in the UK, will once again be hosted in the majestic grounds of the palace, as part of the Breast Cancer Care Bike Blenheim Palace event.

The Championship will be greater than ever, both in numbers and in strength; due to popular demand, the field has been increased to 750 riders and, as befits a true world championship, the race in 2010 will welcome the winners from the various Brompton National Championships around the world.

The 2010 event will be held over the same circuit as in previous years, comprising 2 laps of a 6.5km course; this will give you the opportunity to beat the time you set over the same course last October, and maybe to beat the times set by the last two Brompton World Champions: Alistair Kay and Roberto Heras.

Rules for the event are still pretty straightforward: helmets are a must, as are a blazer or suit jacket, collared shirt and tie. Sports attire is not permitted, unless it is hidden by the approved kit. There are prizes for the best-dressed, so competitors are encouraged to make an effort.
