DON’T miss The Northern Echo on Tuesday for a special 16-page pull-out looking ahead to the 2018 Tour de Yorkshire.
The guide will feature route maps for all the stages, and timings for the third day, which comes through the heart of North Yorkshire.
There will also be features on some of the towns preparing to host the race, and the flags, art, bikes and knitting which are going up across the county.
Cycling writer Matt Westcott tackles the route and interviews some of the big name riders and teams taking part, as cycling fever builds in the Broad Acres.
The Tour starts on May 3 and runs to May 6.
