WITH some of the biggest names in cycling set to descend on parts of the Bradford district tomorrow, here is all the important information you need to be aware of.

The final stage of this year’s Tour de Yorkshire sees the peloton head from Halifax to Leeds on a meandering route up into the Dales and then back down towards the finish line.

The route passes through the western areas of the district before coming back into the north-east area in the closing stages.

Because of this, there will be a number of road closures tomorrow, as well as rolling road closures along the route.

The following roads will be closed fully between 7am and 3pm: Brighouse Road, Keelham; Black Moor Road from Leeming to Haworth; Brow Road, Haworth; Main Street, Haworth; Changegate, Haworth; Mackinginstone Lane, Oakworth; Holme House Lane, Goose Eye and Game Scar Lane, all in Laycock.

Riders are expected through Denholme at around 1pm, in Leeming five minutes later, in Haworth at ten past, Oakworth at 1.15pm, and will begin the ascent of Cote de Goose Eye at 1.20pm.

The popular caravan of decorated vehicles will pass through around two hours before, getting the crowds ready for the race and handing out freebies to spectators.

Bradford Council is advising people to plan any journeys in advance to ensure they don’t encounter or cause disruption to the race.

Also, as the race takes place mainly in rural areas, spectators are being told to respect the countryside and no litter or have barbecues.

Phil Barker, assistant director for sport and culture at Bradford Council, said: “This is an incredibly exciting event where people from across the district will get the chance to cheer on their cycling heroes such as Mark Cavendish and Chris Froome on their own doorstep.

“So the race can pass safely through the district and everyone has a great time watching this spectacular event in safety, we ask that people plan ahead and have patience on the day.

“If you are planning to watch the race think about where you will watch from, how you will get there, where you may be able to park once you are there and how you will get home again.

“If you’ve got other plans for when the race comes through, have a look at the race route and the timings and plan your journey in advance.

“Your cooperation on the day is really appreciated and once the race has passed through we will get things back to normal as soon as we can.

“We can’t wait to once again showcase the district to the world as part of the Tour.”
