The UK will host the official start of both the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes in 2027, marking the first time both the men’s and women’s races will begin in the same country outside France.
Edinburgh will be a first-time host of the men’s Grand Depart, with cycling’s biggest race set to return to UK shores for the first time since the 2014 edition. The city previously bid to host the Tour in 2014 but lost out to a rival offer by Yorkshire.
