The Tour de Yorkshire is a three-day road cycling race. The first edition will be held on 1–3 May 2015 in Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom. It is promoted by the Amaury Sport Organisation and is rated as a 2.1 event as part of the UCI Europe Tour.
The idea for the race arose as a legacy event following the significant success of the visit of the 2014 Tour de France to the county. The first two stages of the 2014 Tour, also organised by ASO, Leeds to Harrogate, and York to Sheffield, were nicknamed Le Tour de Yorkshire.[1]
