The route for the Tour of Britain race has been unveiled as the world-renown event returns to Nottinghamshire in September. It has previously attracted more than 250,000 spectators and is expected to be just as popular this year.
Nottinghamshire will be the fifth stage in the cycling race, which starts in Aberdeen on Sunday, September 4 and finishes on the Isle of Wight seven days later. Competitors will also make use of the newly-opened £49m Colliery Way bypass.
The race will begin in West Bridgford before competitors head south into Ruddington and East Leake. The route then diverts towards Cropwell Bishop before continuing on to Radcliffe-on-Trent and Lowdham.
