So what happens to big bike races when they go through towns, they will all be going over 20, including the team cars, camera motor bikes, police bikes and cyclists?
Do they have a legal dispensation so the limit is not enforced or is it simply ignored?

I now consider myself a "boy racer" on my bike as I attemtp to break all the limits into villages 😎
For myself, I can't wait for 20mph speed limits in the villages around here. With 30mph limits, it's hopeless trying to get the vehicle-activated signs to tell me to slow down as I cycle into a village, but with a 20mph limit and a tailwind, I've got a chance.
