The sprint section of the race will be at 109km on the B1242 Hornsea Road, Skipsea.

This will be the first time that East Yorkshire has played host to an entire stage of the Tour of Britain although the area is no stranger to international cycle races having previously hosted a number of stage starts in Beverley and Bridlington for recent Tour de Yorkshire events, as well as a UCI paracycling event in 2019.

The Tour of Britain has become a cornerstone of the UK sporting calendar since its return in 2004 and this year’s event will start in Greater Manchester on Sunday, 3 September and finish in South Wales on Sunday, 10 September.

Live flag-to-flag coverage of every stage, as well as a daily highlights show, will be broadcast by ITV4 while international coverage will be available in over 150 countries courtesy of Eurosport and GCN+.

Councillor Anne Handley, leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “I’m really looking forward to stage three of the Tour of Britain and it’s great to see the route will take in some of our towns and villages that have not been on the route for previous Tour de Yorkshire events.

“With the number of visitors who come to the area to watch the race, it’s sure to give the local economy a boost.”

Councillor Nick Coultish, portfolio holder for culture, leisure and tourism at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “The route will take the cyclists through some of East Yorkshire’s beautiful towns and villages and some stunning countryside which will be broadcast not just to the UK but to audiences across the world.

“I am quite sure the residents of those towns and villages will come out in force to cheer on the cyclists along with the visitors to East Yorkshire, who are also supporting the race. It promises to be a brilliant day.”

Mick Bennett, Tour of Britain race director, said:

“The race will be showcasing this fantastic part of Britain to a worldwide audience so we knew we had to pack in as much as possible.

“From the beautiful countryside to the distinctive coastline, it’s going to be a spectacular day.”
