News: 2021 Women’s Tour Postponed
Organisers of the Women’s Tour, the SweetSpot Group, have announced that the upcoming edition of the race scheduled for 7 to 12 June 2021 will be postponed owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. SweetSpot are working with the UCI and British Cycling to re-arrange the Women’s Tour for later in 2021 and have requested alternate race dates of Monday 4 to Saturday 9 October* from the sport’s governing body (UCI).
The Women’s Tour, which forms a part of the prestigious UCI Women’s WorldTour, will start in Oxfordshire at Bicester and finish with a stage from Haverhill to Felixstowe in Suffolk. SweetSpot are working with all the regional stakeholders in the 2021 Women’s Tour to accommodate them within the re-arranged race. SweetSpot will announce full details of the 2021 route in the summer once alternative dates are confirmed.
Commenting on the announcement Race Director Mick Bennett said, “We are obviously disappointed to be postponing the Women’s Tour from June but hope that by aiming to stage the race in October we can give the teams and public something to look forward to at the tail end of the summer.”
The postponement follows the exciting news at the start of February that organisers SweetSpot are working with Eurosport and the Global Cycling Network to produce live TV coverage of the race for the first time in 2021.
