Tour de France organiser ASO and Welcome To Yorkshire's plans to stage a three-day in the region next year continue to take shape, with the application to put on the event now in the hands of the UCI.
If approved, the provisionally-titled Tour of Yorkshire will be run as a UCI 2.1-ranked race (the same status that the Tour of Britain had between 2005 and 2013) and take place over the May Day Bank Holiday weekend of May 1-3.
