Bradford Named One Of Six Host Cities For Tour de Yorkshire

    Bradford has been named as one of the six towns which will host start and finish events during the 2017 Tour de Yorkshire cycle race.

    Racing will either begin or end in Bradford, Bridlington, Harrogate, Scarborough, Sheffield and Tadcaster in the three-day event from 28-30 April next year.

    Sir Gary Verity, chief executive of race organisers Welcome to Yorkshire, said: "I'm delighted the race will visit all four corners of the county."

    It is exciting times for cycling in Yorkshire with the other major announcement this month that it will play host to the 2019 Road World Championships - the first time the race will have come to Britain in 37 years.

    The full Tour de Yorkshire 2017 race route - including exact start and finish locations and the distance and profile of the race - will be unveiled in December.
