Cycle chiefs have been mocked for ‘taking wokeness too far’ by censoring out the name of a historic village - called Three Cocks.
The tiny historic village - named after three male birds at least 500 years ago - hosted two stages of the national junior road races held by British Cycling in the Welsh countryside.
But the listed schedule for the event replaced the historic name of Cocks with five asterisks on the official website.
Organisers at British Cycling were mocked for the censorship by people online. One said: ‘Far too offensive to have cockerels crowing over the Welsh countryside, let alone three!’
Another added: ‘I'd be offended if my village name had been altered like that. Who on earth is going to be offended by Three Cocks?’
