Overview
- The Nocturne made a comeback in 2026 as a two‑day city‑centre criterium festival that combined a charity Pro‑Am with a programme of professional races.
- Olympic figures Victoria Pendleton and Ed Clancy attended the charity event that raised money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity and included corporate and amateur teams.
- Clancy rode in the Pro‑Am, joining XTX Markets for the final laps and helping the team secure victory in the charity criterium.
- Professional racing followed, with Matt Bostock winning the men’s race on the city circuit that organisers closed to traffic with support from the City of London.
- Organisers and riders framed the event as a step to revive Britain’s domestic road racing scene by mixing grassroots participation, corporate teams and elite sport to widen appeal and fundraising.
