Through eight stages of nail-biting racing, this year’s 1,140km route takes star-studded teams from South Wales to Central London, and we’re giving you the chance to follow closely behind in the VIP convoy car.
The Tour of Britain isn’t just about the races; it’s also a celebration of the ultimate mode of sustainable transport. This year is set to be even greener than usual, as we’re working with the charity I Dig Trees to plant saplings on behalf of the stage winners; making a lasting difference in reducing CO2 emissions and improving green spaces.
In cycling, smart technology can shave precious off seconds a rider’s time; while in energy, we’re using innovation to power a greener future. This year, we’re bringing both worlds even closer together by giving you the chance to try out the latest e-bikes at some of the tour stages.
Fancy turning your trip to see the cycling into a full day out for the family? Then check out our interactive guide, made in partnership with The Telegraph, for all the best green-themed activities along the route.
