The Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes will both start in the UK in 2027, promoting cycling and tourism.

The Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes will both commence in the United Kingdom in 2027, marking a historic first for the prestigious cycling events. The men`s race will kick off in Edinburgh, Scotland, while the host city for the women’s race is yet to be confirmed. This dual Grand Départ in the same foreign country is a significant milestone for cycling, promising to elevate the profile of the sport across the UK.

The event will span stages across Scotland, England, and Wales, aiming to promote healthier lifestyles and boost cycle tourism. Anticipated to be the largest free spectator event in UK history, it presents a unique opportunity to showcase the country and inspire a new generation of cyclists. Previous editions of the Tour de France held in the UK, particularly in 2014, were met with enthusiasm, yet the legacy of these events has revealed the necessity for ongoing investment in cycling infrastructure.

In contrast, the Kennel Hill Classic, a notable UK road race, is currently grappling with low entry numbers, despite its reputation as one of the best races in the country. This situation highlights broader challenges in maintaining consistent participation in local cycling events, underscoring the need for sustained community engagement and support.
