The Tour of Britain

The Tour of Britain 2009 will take place over eight days, starting in North Lincolnshire on Saturday 12th September and finishing in London on Saturday 19th September.
There are eight stages of action pack racing, ensuring that a worthy winner is crowned in London after the final day’s action.
The race begins with a Grand Depart in Scunthorpe for the first stage, which finishes in York.

Subsequent stages will re-visit the North East as The Tour once again travels from Darlington to Newcastle/Gateshead on Stage Two, while Stage three of the Tour heads to Scotland and takes in the Scottish Borders and Dumfries and Galloway.

The Tour then heads south, with Stage Four featuring the NorthWest of England and Blackpool, with Stage Five both starting and finishing in Stoke-on-Trent, with a hard days racing in store through the scenic North Staffordshire countryside.

The SouthWest, scene of some of the races biggest crowds in 2008, has two stages in 2009, with Stage Six taking the riders across Exmoor as the pass from Somerset into Devon, on their journey from Frome to Bideford.

The penultimate day of the race then sees the peloton retrace its steps, from Hatherleigh in Devon to Yeovil in Somerset, on a stage that could decide the winner of this year’s race.

A spectacular final day of racing will round out the 2009 Tour, as riders tackle the iconic London circuit that opened last year’s race.

There will be full coverage of the race on ITV, with an hour long nightly highlights show of all the action on ITV4, between 7pm – 8pm, with repeats the following day.

We will also try to blog youtube highlights as and when we can, and also keep you updated on the North East stage of road closures in the North Tyneside area.
