Ros Jones, Mayor of Doncaster, said: “On the back of the huge success of the Tour de Yorkshire earlier this month, we look forward to yet another superb international cycling event in Doncaster.

“I am certain we will see thousands of people line the route to cheer on the cyclists, just as we saw for the Tour de Yorkshire event three weeks ago. I would like to thank all our communities, businesses and schools who did Doncaster proud and pulled out all the stops to ensure the cyclists received the warmest of welcomes.”
