A host of riders from multiple teams have been announced
The UK Tour of Britain Women is set to feature a roster of some of the country's most prominent cycling stars. Among the athletes chosen to participate are the Bäckstedt sisters, Zoe and Elynor. Zoe, who holds multiple national titles including the U23 time trial championship, is also the reigning national champion in both the road race and time trial disciplines.
Her sister, Elynor, is a crucial team rider and has secured a podium finish in the National Time Trial. Other notable names on the list include Lauren Dickson, a Giro d'Italia revelation who finished 11th overall after recovering from a collarbone injury sustained at the Tour de Suisse, and Pfeiffer Georgi, Millie Couzens, and Alice Towers, all of whom have won national road championships.
England's top cyclists, such as Jess Roberts, Anna Morris, and Flora Perkins, will also be participating in the event. The race, scheduled to commence on August 19th in Cockermouth, will span five stages, taking cyclists through various locations in England.
