Beginning in George Square Glasgow on Saturday 7 September, the eight day race will take the world’s top teams and riders across a 1,250-kilometre route through the south of Scotland, England’s North East and North West and the Heart of England before the finale takes place in Manchester for the first time on Saturday 14 September.
Stage one of the 2019 OVO Energy Tour of Britain will see the
world’s top riders tackle a 201-kilometre (125-mile) opening leg from George
Square in Glasgow city centre to the town of Kirkcudbright in south west
Dumfries & Galloway.
The
opening stage on Saturday 7 September will complete a loop of Glasgow city
centre before heading south through Renfrewshire, East Ayrshire and South
Ayrshire before crossing into Dumfries & Galloway.
While
September 2019 is the ninth occasion that Dumfries & Galloway has welcomed
a stage finish of Britain’s biggest professional cycle race, it will be the
first time that the event has visited Kirkcudbright.
