Sheffield welcomes Tour of Britain to city and South Yorkshire

As the third stage of the Tour of Britain Men comes to a close, we look back at what it meant to Sheffield and South Yorkshire to host the event.

Riders were cheered on by spectators along the grueling route, which took them from Sheffield's Arundel Gate, through the region, to Barnsley.

Taking in some of South Yorkshire’s most famous, and hardest climbs, the world’s top riders were put through their paces today, also battling wind and rain.
