That's certainly good news. With the Giro starting in Ireland and the Tour from England it's an exciting year for cycling in the UK

I congratulated Brian Cookson on his election when he got in recently and also took the opportunity to ask if the UCI would be so kind as to upgrade the status of the Tour of Britain. If you don't ask, you don't get.

You must carry a lot of weight in them circles @davefy7 to get your wishes implemented! No wonder you do these long rides

I do carry a lot of weight and it does tend to form in circles which is one reason for me to go on long rides, Royster.

Here is news of the route. Nothing north of Liverpool. An 18-team line-up of six-rider squads is planned for The Tour of Britain, with the first ten teams confirmed at the race's national launch. Joining a Great Britain national squad in the race will be nine top-level UCI Pro Tour teams - Belkin Pro Cycling, BMC, Cannondale, Garmin Sharp, Movistar, Omega Pharma Quick-Step, Team Giant Shimano, Team Sky and Tinkoff - Saxo "From now on, under the new licence and in accordance with UCI regulations, there will be at least one mountain top or hill top finished every year and a Time-Trial or Prologue. That last stipulation might also include a Team Time-Trial" "So we will be sticking at six man teams because experience has shown us that on our roads, which can get very narrow out in the sticks, that six is the best number." "We could go up from six to thirteen World tour teams under the 70% ruling and all the big-hitters seem very keen and are on our radar for this year - Sky, Omega, BMC, Movistar, Tinkoff Saxo, Giant, Cannondale, Belkin and many others - but I am going to restrict it to about ten this year because we know the mix of the big hitters, a couple of top Pro-Continental teams, the best of the British-based Continental teams and a youthful GB National team works. It just does and we don't want to tinker with that formula too much." www.tourofbritain.co.uk/stages/index.php#.Uzn_ZPldXl9www.tourofbritain.co.uk/news/9570.php#.Uzn0JfldXl9www.tourofbritain.co.uk/news/9569.php#.Uzn9zvldXl8www1.skysports.com/cycling/news/12040/9242917/tour-of-britain-2014-race-to-include-summit-finish-in-wales-and-split-final-stage-in-londonwww.cyclingweekly.co.uk/racing/british-racing/tour-britain-2014-route-launched-119567
