Specialist sports travel operator Sportsbreaks.com will be the presenting partner of this year’s Tour Series, Britain’s leading televised cycle race series.
The series begins next week in Guisborough, North Yorkshire (on Bank Holiday Monday 2 May), and features seven events across England and Scotland, including… ‘an as yet unannounced Grand Final in a major British city centre.’
Sportsbreaks.com has been the Official Hospitality Partner of the Tour Series, Tour of Britain, and Women’s Tour since 2021. It offers sports travel experiences to a range of sporting events, from domestic and international football match breaks to trips to various Formula 1 races around the world.
Rob Slawson, Managing Director of Sportsbreaks.com, said “We are delighted to further develop our relationship with the Tour Series by becoming presenting partner of this year’s event.
“Through our long-term partnership with the race organisers SweetSpot, we’re committed to supporting the continued development of the Sportsbreaks.com Tour Series, plus the Women’s Tour and Tour of Britain, by offering our exclusive hospitality at every stage of each race.
“As huge sports fans ourselves, we can’t wait for the Sportsbreaks.com Tour Series to get underway and look forward to seeing cycling fans come out in great numbers around the country to witness world-class racing and unforgettable hospitality.”
Sportsbreaks.com will be offering exclusive hospitality at each round of the Tour Series, alongside experiences at each start and finish of the Women’s Tour (6-11 June) and the Tour of Britain (4-11 September).
The Tour Series is a spectator-friendly event, as the hour-long men’s and women’s races allow fans to see Britain’s leading riders repeatedly, with the racing accompanied by a DJ set and festival atmosphere.
Highlights of both the men’s and women’s races will be aired on ITV4 with Sportsbreaks.com the presenting partner of ITV4’s coverage of the Tour Series, enjoying broadcast sponsorship across the seven one-hour programmes.
For the first time, every round of the Sportsbreaks.com Tour Series will also be streamed live on the Tour’s YouTube channel – youtube.com/thetourcycling – with no geo-restrictions.
Hugh Roberts, Executive Chairman of Tour Series organiser SweetSpot Group, said “We are delighted to be deepening our partnership with the team at Sportsbreaks.com who are a fitting presenting partner for the Tour Series.
“The Tour Series is all about the action and excitement of city centre cycling, which fits perfectly with the spirit of Sportsbreaks.com and the wide range of sporting travel experiences they offer.”
Launched in 2009, the Tour Series has a team-based format. Last year’s series saw the Ribble Weldtite Pro Cycling and the CAMS – Basso teams crowned as the men’s and women’s champions respectively.
