The city is hosting the race’s Grand Départ, for the first time since 2004
The Tour of Britain will begin in the market town of Altrincham as the borough of Trafford hosts the start of the Greater Manchester stage on Sunday, September 3.
The stage will start from Market Street, close to Altrincham Market, the popular food and drink spot which has been at the heart of the town’s re-invention as ‘the’ modern market town. The opening stage will finish on Deansgate in Manchester, where Mathieu van der Poel took the honours at the final stage of the 2019 race. At that time, an estimated 600,000 spectators - the biggest single day crowd in race history - followed the day of racing in and around Greater Manchester.
