Gary Verity Chief Executive, Welcome to Yorkshire

MANCHESTER EDINBURGH LEEDS LONDON Leeds Leeds is a city with a past linked closely to the English cycling scene.

Roads wind their way between historic houses, castles and abbeys the length and breadth of the county, leading from the Yorkshire Dales in the west to the heather-covered North York Moors in the east and the gritstone hills of the Peak District in the south.

20 Yorkshire is widely regarded as one of the spiritual heartlands of UK cycling. It has been a frequent destination for the various incarnations of the modern day Tour of Britain, has hosted the British Men s Road Championships more than a dozen times since it started in 1943 and prestigious criterium races, such as Otley town centre, continue to increase in popularity. Leeds is known for being a host city of the UCI Road World Cup during the 1990s, as well as the Leeds International Classic and in more recent times Yorkshire has continued its support for cycling by hosting the UCI Cross Country Mountain Bike World Cup at Dalby Forest and the 2012 National Road Race Championship at Ampleforth Abbey. HERITAGE BRIAN ROBINSON
21 LEADING LIGHTS Brian Robinson Brian Robinson was the first British rider to finish the Tour de France in 1955 and the first to win a stage in 1958, a feat he repeated a year later. He was born in Huddersfield and joined Huddersfield Road Club when he was 13 and completed much of his early racing during his National Service. In addition to his Tour success he also won the Dauphiné Libéré in Barry Hoban Barry Hoban began his career in the 1950s racing with local team Calder Clarion CC and progressed brilliantly into continental racing. Between 1967 and 1975 he won 8 stages of Le Tour. In 1968 he became the first British rider to win a Tour de France mountain stage. He also famously beat the Belgians Eddy Merckx and Roger De Vlaeminck in a sprint finish during the 1974 Ghent- Wevelgem. NEXT GENERATION A new generation of Yorkshire cyclists making their mark on the world stage include Lizzie Armitstead, Ed Clancy, Ben Swift, Scott Thwaites and Adam Blythe. Not to mention Yorkshire cyclists in other disciplines who have made their mark such as multiple world cup and downhill world mountain bike champion Steve Peat and his present day contemporaries. We hope that by hosting the Grand Départ we inspire more children to follow in the footsteps of county s cycling heroes and heroines and continue to ride Yorkshire into the record books. BEN SWIFT Beryl Burton Beryl Burton from Morley, Leeds, dominated women s cycle racing in the UK, winning 96 domestic championships and seven world titles, she also collected 13 pursuit titles and 71 time-trial titles. She set a women s record for the 12-hour time-trial which exceeded the men s record for two years. Her ability on a bike led to the rare distinction for a woman of being invited to compete in the Grand Prix des Nations. Malcolm Elliott Malcolm Elliott is one of Britain s best-loved and most successful riders. Career highlights for the Sheffieldborn rider include being the first British rider to win a points jersey in a Grand Tour (Vuelta a España). Being national road race, hill climb and pursuit champion. Commonwealth gold medallist, Olympian, Milk Race and Tour of Britain winner and two Tour de France campaigns in the late 1980s.
