Welcome To Yorkshire bosses have opened talks about signing a new long term deal to keep staging the 'Tour de Yorkshire'. The professional cycle race, which followed on from the success of when the Tour de France held stages in Yorkshire in 2014, has become one of the biggest events on the sport's schedule.
This year's event - including the women's two day race - was supposed to take place at the end of April - but has been postponed due to the coronavirus crisis.
If the race is rescheduled it will be the last one to take place under the terms of the current contract between WTY and partners British Cycling and the Amaury Sport Organisation, who organise the Tour de France.
