2024 Tour of Britain Men kicks off in Sheffield

We caught up with local riders ahead of today's Tour of Britain Men, which kicked off here in Sheffield, this morning (5th September).

Sheffield hosted the start of the third leg of the Tour of Britain Men in the city earlier today. 

Today the race returns to South Yorkshire for the first time in almost 20 years. 

Stage three of the race sees riders head from Sheffield to Barnsley, taking in Rotherham and Doncaster during the route. 

This year marks the first time that a stage of the Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Men has started in Sheffield, with the city having hosted stage finishes on three occasions between 2004 and 2006.
