Tour of Britain 2024: The Route
Stage 1 of the Tour of Britain is played out in the Scottish Borders. After a 181.9 kilometres race with an elevation gain of 2,381 metres, the riders cross the line on the cobbled market square in Kelso. The last hill is crested with 23 kilometres to go.
The riders cross from Scotland into England in the 2nd stage . They set off from Darlington and finish on the seafront in Redcar after conquering 2,594 metres of climbing over a 152.1 kilometres route. The iconic Saltburn Bank ascent spices up the finale.
At 166 kilometres, the 3rd stage goes from Sheffield to Barnsley. The elevation gain adds up to 2,736 metres, while the last climb tops out with 4 kilometres to go.
The riders travel from Derby to Newark-on-Trent in the 4th stage of the Tour of Britain. It’s a relatively short test of 138.5 kilometres with 1,229 metres of climbing.
The penultimate stage loops from Northampton back to Northampton on a route covering 146.9 kilometres and featuring and elevation gain of 1,276 metres.
The final stage takes the riders through Suffolk from Lowestoft to Felixstowe. The 158.4 kilometres race is expected to come down to a bunch sprint, as the elevation gain is merely 817 metres.

Tour of Britain 2023: Route details, startlist and jerseys guide
The Tour of Britain 2023 begins on Sunday September 3 - here's all you need to know
- Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter
After a truncated edition in 2022 due to police having to head off to administer the Queen's funeral, Britain's biggest race - the Tour of Britain - returns for (hopefully) a full run in 2023.
It's a much more compact edition this year with the race taking place mostly in the middle of the country so if you're anywhere south of Manchester and north of Reading you have precious few excuses for not getting to the roadside to cheer on your favourite rider.
Among the riders set to light up the race are previous winner Wout van Aert and 2022 second place finisher Tom Pidcock , who'll hope to go one better in 2023.
Tour of Britain overview
Tour of britain 2023 route.
Stage 1, Sunday 3 September
Route: Greater Manchester to Altrincham
Today's route is near identical to the final stage of the 2019 tour, starting in Altrincham and travelling to Manchester in an anti-clockwise direction taking in the surrounding area’s undulating terrain, including the category two climb of Grains Bar (2.4km at 5.8%) and category one Ramsbottom Rake (1.3km at 8.8%). Those climbs might not sound like much, but together with a number of unclassified rises were enough to significantly reduce the peloton to just a few dozen riders after Ineos Grenadiers applied the pressure.
The race did eventually culminate in a reduced bunch sprint won by Mathieu van der Poel, but not before we were entertained by a relentless flurry of attacks as teams struggled for control.

Stage 2, Monday 4 September
Route: Wrexham to Wrexham
At just 109.9km, this is a remarkably short stage by any standards, and as a result could witness some atypical racing. Shorter stages tend to produce more intense racing, with riders able to attack earlier on in the knowledge that they won't have to sustain their efforts for as long.
So although the route doesn’t offer many springboards to launch attacks, travelling westwards across the border and into Cheshire rather than eastwards towards the hills of the Clwydian Range to the west, expect riders to try their luck regardless.
Most important of all will be the Eyton Hill, the category three climb summited with just 18.5km left to ride. It’s close enough to the finish for attackers to fully commit themselves, but will the shallow gradients (averaging only around two and three percent) be enough to establish meaningful gaps?
Stage 3, Tuesday 5 September
Route: Goole to Beverley
Setting off from the small market town of Goole, the riders will head north-eastwards to Bridlington, from where they will travel southwards along the coast and then inland again for a finish in Beverley. For the residents of Beverley, this will be a chance to witness a stage finish after the minster town had previously hosted the beginning of Tour de Yorkshire stages in 2016 and 2018, the former won by Harry Tanfield from a successful break, the latter by Dylan Groenewegen in a sprint.
Much like the course of the town’s famous racecourse, the parcours today before arriving at Beverly is mostly flat, but there are a few potential obstacles to overcome if this is to be a sprint finish. The category three hills up Towthorpe Lane and Langtoft must both be climbed during the first of the stage, and after that comes a stretch of about 35km near the coastline which could, if the wind blows strong and in the right direction, cause echelons. But this should in theory be the most nailed-on stage for the sprinters so far.
Stage 4, Wednesday 6 September
Route: Sherwood Forest to Newark-on-Trent
After setting off from Edwinstone in Sherwood Forest, famous for its association with Robin Hood, the riders face the first to the day’s two category three climbs, Kilton Hill, just 15km into the stage. Then, after briefly crossing into Yorkshire and riding through Haworth, where a monument to Tom Simpsons can be found, they will travel southwards again to tackle the next climb, Red Hill Lane.
There’s a whole 85km between the top of Red Hill Lane and the finish, so plenty of time for the race to settle down for a bunch sprint.
Stage 5, Thursday 7 September
Route: Felixstowe to Felixstowe
Perhaps to make up for the lack of any difficult terrain, the organisers have rendered stage five less straightforward than it would otherwise have been by extending it to a total of 192.4km. That makes it by far the longest stage of the race, and could prevent this from being the predictable sprint stage it looks on paper.
Small undulations in the road that would otherwise have been passed over without a second though will sting the legs of the weaker riders, and being so close to the coast a crosswind could encourage a strong team to the front on any exposed roads.
Stage 6, Friday 8 September
Route: Southend-on-Sea to Harlow
Today’s stage is likely to be the last chance for the sprinters to compete for a stage win. And it should be about as nailed-on for them as any stage in the year’s race — there is only one official climb to be overcome, and it’s only a mild category three one tackled with 46km left between its summit and the finish for the peloton to bring back any optimistic attackers who try to use its shallow gradients to get away.
Stage 7, Saturday 9 September
Route: Tewkesbury to Gloucester
The organisers have made the most of the lumpy terrain of the Cotswolds to devise a route that should be selective, and one of the most important days in the GC race.
There is one climb up the category two Winchcombe Hill just 20km after the roll-out in Tewksbury, but the real action will be reserved for the final 30km. First the category two Crawley Hill, which features a nasty ramp at over 20%, then an uncategorized yet deceptively hard 3km rise to the village of Edge, which includes a similarly sharp ramp of 15%.
Stage 8, Sunday 10 September
Route: Margam Country Park to Caerphilly
The climbs to be taken on might not be especially different than those that have preceded them earlier in the week, but there is still a notable upgrade in terms of severity.
That’s clear when the race heads up to the outskirts of Bannau Brycheiniog (formerly Brecon Beacons) national park to take on the first two climbs of the day, Rhigos and Bryn Du, which have both been designated the maximum difficulty racing of category one.
And after a 35km south-easterly trek from the top of the latter comes a double-ascent of the day’s most important climb, and the one on which the entire fate of the Tour of Britain could be decided — Caerphilly Mountain.
In truth it’s more of a hill than a mountain, lasting just 1.3km, but that’s still enough road for its viscous average gradient of 10% to really sting and force a selection.

The Old Military Road climb from Auchallater to Glenshee Ski Centre measures 9.1km long, with the final five kilometres averaging a gradient of 4.8 per cent.
Stage two – Hawick to Duns (175.2km)
Route description: Hawick, famous for its knitwear and the first whisky distillery to open in the region since 1837, will be the starting point of stage two. The race’s ninth visit to the Borders will feature a mix of roads old and new to the event, before a first-ever finish in Duns. The stage winner will be crowned in the shadow of the Jim Clark Motorsport Museum, which celebrates the two-time Formula 1 world champion who lived nearby.
Stage three – Durham to Sunderland (163.6km)
Route description: History will be made when riders roll out in the shadow of the city’s famous cathedral: Durham has never previously hosted a stage start or finish in a professional edition of the Tour of Britain. Stage three’s route will initially head west, taking the peloton through the North Pennines AONB, before heading back through County Durham and into Sunderland. The route will weave past some of the city’s beautiful green spaces and through communities on its approach to the finish line outside of Sunderland’s new City Hall, which forms part of a £500m development in the city.
Stage four – Redcar to Duncombe Park, Helmsley (149.5km)
Route description: The start will be the first time the borough of Redcar and Cleveland has hosted the Tour of Britain, while the finish marks the race’s return to North Yorkshire in 13 years. Popular seaside towns such as Saltburn-by-the-Sea and Whitby will be raced through before the route heads into the North York Moors National Park. The unforgiving final 30km of this 149.5km stage feature the climbs of Carlton Bank (2km long, 9.8 per cent average gradient) and Newgate Bank (2km long, 6 per cent average gradient) before descending into the finish at Duncombe Park, one of Yorkshire’s finest historic houses and estates.

Stage five – West Bridgford to Mansfield (186.8km)
Route description: Stage five will start and finish in the same places – West Bridgford and Mansfield – as it did four years ago, albeit with a different route that takes in Cotgrave, Gedling, Southwell, Retford and Worksop. Riders will then head into Mansfield via Clumber Park and Sherwood Forest. This will be the only stage of the 2022 Tour with less than 2,000m of climbing.
Stage six – Tewkesbury to Gloucester (170.9km)
Route description: With the start and finish locations separated by a little over 10 miles, fans will easily be able to attend both on race day, which will further add to the atmosphere at this free-to-watch sporting spectacle. Stage six’s route will head into the Cotswolds before approaching the finish by the historic Gloucester Docks via South Gloucestershire.
Stage seven – West Bay to Ferndown (175.9km)
Route description: Dorset’s natural beauty – including the Jurassic Coast Unesco World Heritage Site that runs through the county – will be showcased to the world as riders travel from West Bay, known for its striking golden cliffs, to Ferndown on Saturday 10 September. Stage seven will run parallel with the West Dorset Heritage coast before passing through Dorchester, West Lulworth and Corfe Castle. The route heads inland towards Wareham, Milton Abbas and Wimborne Minster and loops round into the heart of Ferndown town centre.
Stage eight – Ryde to The Needles, Isle of Wight (148.9km)
Route description: Stage eight promises unforgettable for riders and fans alike, owing to the spectacular 148.9km route from Ryde to The Needles. Not only will the route showcase the island to a worldwide TV audience – its county town of Newport, as well as the popular tourist locations of Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin, Totland, Ventnor and Yarmouth all feature – fans will be able to catch the race in multiple locations owing to the way it loops around the Isle. The final 20km will take the peloton along the stunning Military Road, which offers breathtaking panoramic views out across the English Channel, towards The Needles Landmark Attraction. This year’s race culminates with a 2km climb up to Tennyson Down, the final 400m of which average a gradient of 9.6 per cent, making it the toughest ending to any Tour of Britain in modern history.

Home fans will have the chance to cheer on a Great Britain national team, plus British leading British teams and fan favourites Saint Piran and TRINITY Racing, both of whom have impressed with attacking performances in past editions of the Tour, and can be expected to take the fight to the higher ranked UCI WorldTour and ProTeams.

Oasis reunion? Liam and Noel Gallagher tease Britpop fans with strong hints they could soon bury the hatchet
August 26, 2024 / 8:47 AM EDT / AFP
London — Fans of British rock band Oasis buzzed with anticipation Monday as Liam and Noel Gallagher teased that they could be returning to the stage together, 15 years after the band's last performance.
The Britpop band — which spectacularly broke up in 2009 after rising to fame with hit songs "Wonderwall", "Don't Look Back In Anger" and "Champagne Supernova" — could play a series of gigs in London and Manchester next summer according to industry insiders cited by the Sunday Times newspaper.
Rumours included 10 dates being booked at London's Wembley Stadium and a possible headline slot at Glastonbury festival as the brothers reportedly thawed their decade-long feud .
At midnight on Monday, both brothers and the official Oasis account hinted on X that an announcement would be made on Tuesday (August 27) at 8 a.m. (3 a.m. Eastern), posting the same clip with the date and time flickering in the style of the Oasis logo.
The clip teasing the announcement was also shown on screens at the end of Liam's Sunday gig at the Reading music festival, part of the younger brother's "Definitely Maybe" tour.
Liam also replied to a link of the Sunday Times article posted on X with "See you down the front", and in another post on X said, "I never did like that word FORMER".
Formed in 1991 in Manchester, Oasis was credited with reviving Britpop music, keeping fans riveted with the public fights between Liam and Noel and their chart-rivalry with the London-based group Blur.
Sibling tensions came to a head during a spat in Paris during the Rock en Seine festival in 2009, when Liam broke one of Noel's guitars.
The brothers have not played together since the acrimonious split, but both still regularly play their old band's hits to sold-out crowds.
Until now, they had largely communicated in public through taking swipes at each other on social media.
If true, the reunion would take place 30 years after Oasis's 1995 album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?", which received international critical and commercial acclaim.
The brothers have teased at a reconciliation before , with Noel last year saying "never say never" about a reunion.
Asked by CBS News' Anthony Mason during an interview in 2017 whether he could have made his career in music without the catapult start provided by Oasis and his brother, Noel didn't hesitate:
"No chance," he said. "No way. I wouldn't have gotten anywhere without him, and he wouldn't have gotten anywhere without me. It was as simple as that."
