Stage 2 of the event sees the cyclists race from Darlington to Redcar on Wednesday September 4th with a route that passes through Robin Hood's Bay, Whitby and Sandsend.
In addition to the free-to-air live coverage on ITV4, viewers will also be able to catch a one-hour highlights programme each evening on the same channel, with live coverage and highlights also available on demand via ITVX.
