Tour of Britain

 

ŠKODA UK is the Official Partner of The Tour of Britain, the UK’s biggest professional cycle race.  As title sponsor of the King of the Mountains competition and Official Vehicle Supplier to The Tour, ŠKODA, provide The Tour of Britain with a fleet of approximately 50 Superb, Superb Estate and Yeti vehicles, for the country’s biggest professional cycle race, and the largest free-to-spectate live sporting event in the UK.

 

In addition to transporting the directors and management of The Tour of Britain, all members of the organising team, plus partners and members of the media will also travel in ŠKODA vehicles during the eight day race.

 

The 2011 Tour of Britain saw almost 100 of the world’s top cyclists start the eighth edition of The Tour on Sunday 11th September, in Scotland. The race then took the cyclists on a further seven days of racing, travelling through England’s Northwest, Stoke-on-Trent and the Staffordshire Moorlands, Devon, Somerset and East Anglia, before crossing the finish line in the country’s capital city, London.

 

The final day of The Tour was different to any other year as it involved closing the streets of London with an individual time trial in the morning before the traditional closing circuit race stage in the afternoon, ensuring the battle for race leader’s IG Markets Gold Jersey went right down to the wire.
