Six of the squads taking part are registered in Britain: Sky, Bike Channel Canyon, JLT Condor, Madison Genesis, One Pro Cycling and Raleigh GAC, plus a Great Britain national team. The race gives domestic riders a chance to battle their top-level WorldTour rivals on home roads.
The 18 teams taking part in the women's Tour de Yorkshire (April 29) have also been named, and the line-up includes an impressive line-up of the world's biggest squads.
Lizzie Deignan's Boels-Dolmans, Wiggle-High5, Canyon-SRAM and Sunweb are among those taking part.
“This is the largest field we have ever assembled and the quality of it reflects the high esteem in which our race is held," said Welcome to Yorkshire chief executive Sir Gary Verity.
“Having the very best teams in the business coming to Yorkshire is a massive coup, but it is also important to us that British-based teams have the opportunity to pit themselves against the world’s finest riders."
“Teams want to compete at the Tour de Yorkshire as they know they will be guaranteed massive crowds, exciting racing and an electric atmosphere. This year 49 teams applied to participate," continued Verity.
“Last year two million spectators lined the route and the third edition looks set to be the biggest and best one yet.”

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, n exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
