Tour of Britain fans wanting to test themselves on this year’s race route can now see how they compare to the world’s best riders. In this Collection, you'll find the routes for each of the eight stages of the 2023 Tour:
Stage 1: Altrincham to Manchester
Stage 2: Wrexham circular
Stage 3: Goole to Beverley
Stage 4: Sherwood Forest to Newark-on-Trent
Stage 5: Felixstowe circular
Stage 6: Southend-on-Sea to Harlow
Stage 7: Tewkesbury to Gloucester
Stage 8: Margam Country Park to Caerphilly
Please note that as these are the official race routes, there are some sections that are routed onto one-way streets or busy roads (which will be closed to traffic while each stage is raced), so you'll want to adapt these before riding yourself.
Coming to spectate? Join us by the side of the road from Sunday 3 to Sunday 10 September. Alternatively, watch the race televised live on ITV4 in the UK and around the world by Eurosport and the Global Cycling Network (GCN).
If you tackle any part of this year’s route, please let us know how you got on: tag us in your ride on komoot and post on X, Facebook, or Instagram.
