2020 Tour de Yorkshire


The 2020 Tour de Yorkshire is a four-day cycling stage race which was scheduled to be held in Yorkshire from 30 April to 3 May 2020. However, on 17 March it was announced that the event would be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. New dates have yet to be announced. It will be the sixth edition of the Tour de Yorkshire, organised by Welcome to Yorkshire and the Amaury Sport Organisation.

Route

In November 2019, TdY announced that the starting and finishing locations would be in Leeds, Beverley, Barnsley, Halifax, Huddersfield, Leyburn, Skipton and Redcar. Whilst various races of Tdy, and the Tour de France of 2014, have visited various of these locations, it is the first time that Huddersfield, Leyburn and Skipton have been host towns. Redcar is also a first for a host town and will be the most northerly location that TdY has visited.
The stages were announced on 17 January 2020. Stages 2 and 3 will also be the same stages that the 2020 Women's Race will undertake, though stage 3 will be slightly shorter at.
