The hosting of major cycling events such as the Lloyds Tour of Britain Women is part of partnership agreed between British Cycling, Flintshire Council, Conwy Council and Powys Council to grow cycling and tourism links in the region. 

Councillor Glyn Preston, Powys County Council’s Cabinet Member for a More Prosperous Powys, said: “We are incredibly proud to welcome stage four of the Lloyds Tour of Britain Women to Powys. It is a huge honour and gives us a wonderful opportunity to showcase our beautiful county and bring economic benefits to our communities through increased tourism.

“With thousands of spectators expected and worldwide media coverage, it will be a boon for local businesses and the visitor economy, while also inspiring more people to get active and enjoy cycling. As we look ahead to hosting part of the Tour de France’s Grand Départ in 2027, events like this help position Powys firmly on the map as a premier destination for major sporting events.”

Welshpool  is also hosting the start of stage three of the Tour de France Grand Départ in 2027 on Sunday 4 July 2027, so the Lloyds Tour of Britain will serve as a perfect appetiser for the region with world-class bike racing this summer. Sign up to volunteer here
