Tour de Yorkshire 2016

So it's back, after the success of the Grand Depart of the Tour de France in 2014 and the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire in 2015, Yorkshire's three day cycling race is back again in 2016!

Although the final route isn't going to be announced until later in the year (9th December 2015 to be exact), the six start and finish towns have been revealed by the race organisers Welcome to Yorkshire.

From the 14 towns that showed interest in hosting a start or finish in the 2016 event, those selected are:

Beverley

Doncaster

Middlebrough

Otley

Scarborough

Settle

With the men's elite race running from Friday 29th April - Sunday 1st May 2016, there's still plenty of time to explore the towns, the routes and the spectator vantage points for another exciting race.

The women's elite race will be held on Saturday 30th April, with more details to follow on this as they become available.

Full details and dates of the sportive that complements the Tour are also planned to be released sometime in November, although it suggests that it'll follow last year and be held on the same route and day as the final day's racing (Sunday 1st May 2016)
