Organisers of the opening stages of this year’s Tour de France in England have confirmed the locations of 17 spectator hubs.

The free admission hubs will offer live coverage of the race on big screens, refreshments and entertainment.

The venues vary in capacity from a few thousand in more rural areas to 40,000 at the Don Valley Bowl in Sheffield.

Hub locations include Skipton and Leyburn, Hawes, Otley, Ilkley and York.

The race begins in Leeds on July 5 and continues from York to Sheffield on July 6.

A third stage between Cambridge and London takes place on July 7.

The spectator hub locations are in addition to the race start points at the Headrow in Leeds, York Racecourse and Parker’s Piece in Cambridge.

The delivery authority for the Grand Depart, TdF HUB 2104 Ltd, said the official hubs would be supported by other spectator events hosted by local authorities, town and parish councils, community groups and privately-organised events.
