Tour of Britain Cycle Race on Merseyside

THE Liverpool and Kendal leg of the Tour of Britain Cycle Race, Britain’s leading professional cycle race, whizzed through Merseyside on Friday 14 September 2007.

Peter Mearns, Director of Marketing at the Northwest Regional Development Agency said:- “England’s Northwest has an enviable record for hosting major sporting and cultural events, bringing huge economic benefits to the region.

The NWDA is pleased to support this exhilarating race, which brings increasing numbers of spectators every year to enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Northwest and highlights the region’s potential for cycle tourism.”

We snapped them halfway through Merseyside as they passed Formby on the Formby Bypass.
