FULL RACE TIMINGS UNVEILED FOR 2017 TOUR DE YORKSHIRE

 

The highly anticipated race timings for the 2017 Tour de Yorkshire have been unveiled by Welcome to Yorkshire.

 

Millions of spectators will line the route for the three-day men’s race and one-day women’s race which run between 28-30 April. The timings have been calculated by anticipating the peloton’s average speed but are subject to change depending on variables such as wind speed, direction and how aggressively the riders race.

 

Timings for the newly expanded race caravan have also been included and list the stop off points where fans will be treated to a host of promotional goodies from the official race partners.

 

Stage 3 on Sunday 30 April will start in Bradford at 12:10, travelling through Guiseley at 12:32, Menston (12:36), Burley in Wharfedale (12:39), Ilkley (12:46), Addingham (12:55) heading to Bolton Abbey and into the Dales, then heading back through Skipton (13;38), Silsden (13:53) and Keighley (14:02). The races finishes at Fox Valley, Sheffield at 17:02.

 

Welcome to Yorkshire Chief Executive Sir Gary Verity said: “It’s always exciting to share these timings as supporters can now plan exactly where and when they want to watch the action. Every time I see them I’m astonished by how quickly the peloton travels, but these are the very best riders in the world after all!

 

“Of course, there is a huge amount of added entertainment planned across the county over the full three days, and be sure to line the route early to see our colourful race caravan and fleet of Yorkshire cycling legends pass through.”
