Pickering. The Hole of Horcum provides a stunning backdrop before the Côte de Goathland, which fans might recognise from the TV show Heartbeat, before the fast and furious descent of Blue Bank and into Sleights. The race hits the coastline again at Whitby and the riders will get a great view of the iconic abbey as they take on the second sprint. The route then makes a visit to Hawsker before the third KOM is decided at Robin Hood’s Bay. From there it’s full speed through Fylingdales, Cloughton and Burniston and back into Scarborough where the frontrunners will sweep along South Bay, around the castle walls, and onto the now legendary sprint finish.
