The Tour de Yorkshire took place from the 2nd to the 5th of May for the male race and for the female over the 3rd to the 4th of May. The event happens every year and people from all over come to support the bikers and to watch the races.

The Tour de Yorkshire played an important role in the world-famous Tour de France four years ago and has many sponsors including Team Sky and ASDA.

Each year, the route is slightly different and there are separate men's and women's races.

The Tour de Yorkshire starts today in Doncaster.

The men’s race starts at 1 o’clock today and the 182k first stage is set to finish in Selby. Tomorrow, the women join the race at Barnsley.

Some of the world’s top cyclists are set to pass through 150 cities, towns and villages in Yorkshire over the next few days, including four-time Tour de France winner, Chris Froome.

The 2018 Tour de Yorkshire saw more than two million spectators come and watch the race all across the county.

Due to weather conditions, the traditional finish line in Scarborough will be moved 500m earlier, as used in the 2017 race.
