After an 842-day hiatus, the AJ Bell Women’s Tour returns on Monday with a Grand Départ in Oxfordshire.
The 147.7-kilometre stage runs between the historic market towns of Bicester and Banbury, with the finish line located within sight of the world-famous Banbury Cross.
Among those set to race in Oxfordshire are Lizzie Deignan (Trek – Segafredo), winner of the inaugural Paris – Roubaix on Saturday, and newly-crowned world road race champion Elisa Balsamo (Valcar – Travel & Service).
Discover Bicester and Banbury on our stage one hub page.
We are delighted to welcome the Women's Tour of Britain to Banbury tomorrow. Our offices will act as the media centre for the event.
