Vaati Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Thought there would have been a thread on this already: Tour de Yorkshire 2017: Race will start in Bridlington and finish in Sheffield. The race then moves from West to South Yorkshire and into Penistone, and another sprint is on the cards at Stocksbridge before the riders embark on a 22km finishing circuit that features four categorised climbs. These come at Deepcar, Wigtwizzle, Ewden Height and Midhopestones before the race finishes at Fox Valley. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/38174348 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biotechpete Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 And rumour has it that Mark Dransfield paid a hefty sum to get the race to finish in his retail park. So he obviously thinks it'll be good for business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
