Witness an incredible event right here in Newport!

 

The final stage of the 2025 Lloyds Tour of Britain Men on Sunday 7 September will start in Newport, outside the Geraint Thomas Velodrome, and finish in Cardiff.

The second of two days of action-packed racing on the climbs and valleys of south Wales, stage six will loop from the city of Newport to a finish on North Road in Cardiff, close to city hall in the Welsh capital.

It marks the first visit for the Lloyds Tour of Britain Men to Cardiff since 2017, and only the second time in the modern race’s history that the city has hosted the event’s overall finish.

The team presentation before the final stage of this fantastic event will be held inside our very own Geraint Thomas Velodrome, so spectators will be able to enjoy the live team presentations from inside the Geraint Thomas Velodrome!!
