Where to watch the Tour de Yorkshire
Yorkshire's Tour de France legacy race rolls out of Bridlington at 11.45 on Friday en route to Scarborough and you can catch the final two hours of each stage on ITV4 and British Eurosport.
The likes of Sir Bradley Wiggins, Marcel Kittel and Greg van Avermaet will grace the roads of the white rose county alongside some of Britain's best young talents.
Several riders will be returning to their home county, including Team Sky's Ben Swift, as the race passes through Selby, York, Wakefield and Leeds on days two and three.
Swift and Kittel are the bookies' favourites for the race, which takes in some of the roads used during the Tour de France Grand Départ last July, with some of the region's most iconic climbs also included.
