Warwickshire confirmed to host Lloyds Tour of Britain Women cycle race final leg
The five-day race will end with a scenic Warwickshire loop and is expected to deliver more than £62 million in local economic impact, organisers said.
- Royal Leamington Spa will host the final stage of the Lloyds Tour of Britain Women on Sunday, August 23, 2026, positioning Warwickshire at the center of the international cycling stage.
- The five-day event features parity in stage numbers with the men's race for the first time, bringing elite cycling back to locations like Cockermouth, Clitheroe, and Blackpool.
- British Cycling research delivered by GSIQ showed the 2025 Tours generated nearly £62 million for local economies, while the 2026 race traverses England and Wales with new stages in Mold, Llanidloes, and Hay-on-Wye.
- Communities are preparing to welcome riders and spectators, with officials expecting the tour to provide a "boon for local businesses and the visitor economy" through increased footfall.
- This tour acts as a high-profile warm-up for the 2027 Tour de France Grand Depart in Wales, as partners aim to use the event's legacy to promote cycling and tourism links across the region.
