Delays are possible as bikers attend Telford event
Drivers in Telford are being warned to expect delays this weekend when Europe's biggest sporting motorcycle show comes to the town, bringing in thousands of enthusiasts.
The Classic Off Road and Road Racing Motorcycle Show, which takes place at the International Centre on Saturday and Sunday, welcomes 19 times TT champion John McGuiness as its star guest.
Organisers are expecting thousands of motorbike fans to flock to the show, which will also exhibit seven-time MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi's Ducati.
Organiser Alan Wright said: "I'm delighted to be bringing this event to Telford and the refurbished International Centre.
"Good motorway links, value for money on site hotels and a nearby shopping centre all helped to influence the decision."
John McGuiness is the current Isle of Man lap record holder and will be the main attraction on Sunday at 12pm.
Mr Wright advised shoppers to leave their morning shopping in the town centre until the afternoon. He said: "The main delay is expected to focus around the International Centre at St Quentin Gate from around 8.30am to 10.30am each day.
"The journey from junction 4 of the M54 is to be avoided and an alternative journey to the town centre from junction 5 is recommended."
Sky Sports commentator Julian Ryder will also be there talking about the upcoming MotoGP this season, while many famous racing machines will also be on show.
The event will feature other forms of sporting motorcycles including sprinting, trials, scrambling, speedway, enduros and classic grasstrack.
