An all-star cast has been unveiled for the first Tour de Yorkshire.

It includes Sir Bradley Wiggins, Olympic gold medallist and former Holme Valley Wheeler Ed Clancy and top Yorkshire rider Ben Swift.

The line-up for the inaugural race also includes teenage Huddersfield rider Gabriel Cullaigh, top German springer Marcell Kittel and former Olympic champion Samuel Sanchez.

The elite cycling race takes place in Yorkshire between 1 and 3 May and travels through North, West, East and South Yorkshire.

On Sunday, May 3, the riders leave Wakefield and head through Huddersfield, Meltham and the Colne Valley before tackling daunting routes in Calderdale and on to a finish in Leeds.

Bradley Wiggins makes his debut for his very own team, Team Wiggins. Seven other British squads will also take their place on the starting grid, including Wiggins’ former team, Team Sky.
