Is The Tour of Britain Coming to the Scarborough Borough?

The Yorkshire Coast could feature in the Tour of Britain cycle race later this year.

North Yorkshire County Council have announced that a stage of the race will finish in the county in September.

In a meeting yesterday Executive member for access - Councillor Don McKenzie - suggested the route will take in parts of the Yorkshire coast.

Britain’s leading cycle race will return to Yorkshire for stage four on Wednesday, 7 September. It was last in the area in 2009, when York welcomed the opening day’s finish, and before that in 2008 when Dalby Forest hosted a stage finish.

Stage four of the race will start in Redcar on September 7th and finish at an as yet undisclosed location in North Yorkshire.

ITV4 will broadcast live flag-to-flag coverage of every stage, as well as a nightly highlights show. The race will also be shown in more than 150 countries, in part thanks to the event’s partnerships with Eurosport and the Global Cycling Network.
