Nottingham will host the penultimate stage of the Aviva Women’s Tour this weekend.

Those who wish to watch the the race can take up a spot at the Old Market Square where racers will begin around 10:30am. The tour will then head west into Derbyshire at Long Eaton and on towards the Staffordshire Moorlands the stage finish in Stoke-on-Trent.

There’ll be free activities and entertainment for all the family. The Aviva women’s tour will be the first time it has visited the city.

Stage Four will connect two cities which both have a rich cycling heritage and have never before hosted the Aviva Women’s Tour.

Nottingham has become a centre hosting major women’s sporting events, making it a logical choice to host the Aviva Women’s Tour, while Stoke-on-Trent this year celebrates being the UK’s European City of Sport, with the stage finish being one of their major events for the year.” -
