Tour de Yorkshire
The Tour de Yorkshire is a road cycling race in Yorkshire, which started in May 2015. It is promoted by the Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO) and is rated as a 2.1 event as part of the UCI Europe Tour. From 2015 to 2017 it was a three day race and in 2018 will expand to four days starting on Thursday 3 May to Sunday 6 May.
The idea for the race arose as a legacy event following the significant success of the visit of the 2014 Tour de France to the county. The first two stages of the 2014 Tour, also organised by ASO, from Leeds to Harrogate, and York to Sheffield, were nicknamed Le Tour de Yorkshire.
To date, the race has always taken place over the three days before the May Day bank holiday.
