The AvivaTour of Britain is an exciting, high profile event with live coverage
on ITV1 as well as the highlights which will be seen on television across the
world. I am delighted that this and the extensive coverage in the local and

This is a fantastic opportunity for local people to see the cream of
international cycling in action and I am sure crowds will be out in force to
enjoy the excitement and thrill of the race.
