After a 13-year absence, the
Tour de France is reportedly set to return to the shores of Great Britain in 2027 according to reports. After Grand Departs in 2007 and 2014, the biggest race on the planet is apparently going to be getting underway in the UK yet again in 2027.
This news comes via
a report by BBC Sport. "Details of the route are still being finalised, and advanced talks between British sports authorities and race organisers continue. But according to well-placed sources, an official announcement could come as early as next month," reports the BBC on their website. "Funding body UK Sport identified the 2027 Tour as one which could begin in Britain in a list of international event hosting targets last year, and has been in negotiations with race organisers ASO, with British Cycling fully supportive of the plan."
