Plans for a stage of a national cycle race to pass through South Yorkshire have been proposed.
The Tour of Britain is a multi-day cycle race on the roads of Great Britain, first held in 1945. The race is televised nationally and internationally, and this year is set to take place between September 1-8. The competitors will start in Glasgow and finish in London, and a stage is proposed to take place in South Yorkshire – starting in Sheffield, travelling through Rotherham and Doncaster, and finishing in Barnsley.
