Tour de France 2016 Plus local Cycle race in Beverley

The Elite cycle race takes place in Beverley next Friday evening, the 8th July, first race starting at 18.10.
It's fast and furious as teams compete round a circuit including the famous cobble street. The Jaden Press womens race and Keith Jordan memorial race both take place before the Elite event.

Following on is the Big G, Grimpeurs des Wolds on Saturday 9th July.
There are four paint marked routes, 150km, 100km, 60 km, and for the third time a 30km for newcomers to the sport. Cost is a very reasonable £25.00 and the event kicks off at Bishop Burton College, York road, Bishop Burton.


So, plenty of local action, followed up by the main event the wonderful Tour de France which starts on the 2nd of July and finishes on the 24th July.
We wish the eight british riders taking part all the very best, Chris Froome will be defending his title against the likes of Alberto Contador, and Nairo Quintana.
So good luck to Chris Froome, Mark Cavendish, Geraint Thomas, Adam Yates, Steve Cummings, Ian Stannard, Luke Rowe, and up and coming sprinter Daniel McLay. Tour de France.2016.
