Tour de Yorkshire "in the process of arranging enough financial support" to secure return in 2024

The Tour de Yorkshire was left held in 2019. After being cancelled the last three years, a comeback could be likely later this year with race organizers trying hard to secure funding.

“We are in the process of arranging enough financial support to ensure the event can be as big as before,” Robin Scott, the new owner of Welcome to Yorkshire, the travel agency that previously co-organized the stage race has revealed.

Since Chris Lawless's overall victory in 2019 ahead of Greg van Avermaet and Eddie Dunbar, the race has been in a state of limbo. Scott hopes though that through conversations with the UCI and British Cycling, the Tour de Yorkshire could return to the cycling calendar.

Scott hopes that the race's return will be confirmed by the summer of 2024 as to mark a decade since the Tour de France started in front of a raucous British crowd in the county of Yorkshire.
