British Cycling announced today the host cities stretching from Welshpool to Manchester for a "monumental effort" to launch this year's Tour of Britain Women, formerly known as Women's Tour. The rebranded event, which was cancelled last year and has had a turbulent path to a rebranding by British Cycling, will begin in 10 weeks, scheduled for June 6-9 as a Women's WorldTour event.

"Our primary focus has been to deliver a safe and competitive race in 2024, and while there is still a great deal of work to do, we remain every bit as determined to harness the race's spotlight to make a real impact in the communities which it touches," said Jon Dutton, CEO of British Cycling.
