All the action from this year's Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Men will once again be broadcast live on ITV4, with flag-to-flag coverage of all six stages of Britain's national tour for the seventh consecutive year.
Joining presenter Matt Barbet will be ITV's commentary duo of Ned Boulting and David Millar, as ITV4 broadcasts live coverage of the UK's biggest professional cycle race for the 12th year, and the 16th edition in total that has been televised by the channel.
Coverage gets underway with stage one in Kelso and the Scottish Borders on Tuesday 3 September, going live at 10:15, with the likes of double Olympic gold medallist Remco Evenepoel, double world road race champion Julian Alaphilippe (both Soudal Quick-Step) and Olympic mountain biking star Tom Pidcock (INEOS Grenadiers) all confirmed to participate.
Stage 2 of the event sees the cyclists race from Darlington to Redcar on Wednesday September 4th with a route that passes through Robin Hood's Bay, Whitby and Sandsend.
In addition to the free-to-air live coverage on ITV4, viewers will also be able to catch a one-hour highlights programme each evening on the same channel, with live coverage and highlights also available on demand via ITVX.
