The Women's Tour has made an urgent plea to potential sponsors for support after the cycle race was reduced from six to five days.
The professional women's cycling race was started in 2014 and Yorkshire cycling star Lizzie Deignan has won the event twice. This year's event has been reduced to five stages and will take place between June 7 and 11.
The race will conclude with a circuit race around Birmingham city centre. The first four stages will finish in Royal Leamington Spa, Ampthill, Guisborough and Derby.
