Devon County Council and the organisers of the Tour of Britain are looking forward to the Devon stage of the event, which will take place on Monday, 6th September. Devon will host Stage Two of 2021’s event, with a 185Km route between Sherford and Exeter. It is the 12th stage to have been hosted by Devon since 2008.
This stage of the event takes advantage of Devon’s hilly landscape and will include a 3,500 metres of ascent. The route will visit the South Hams for the first time since 2012, combining the beautiful south Devon coast, Dartmoor and Exeter city centre.
The route will feature three intermediate Sprints, the first of which will come at Torcross as the route crosses the road along the narrow shingle bar that separates Slapton Ley from the sea with the remaining springs in Kingsbridge and Tavistock.
The 2021 Tour of Britain is due to take place between 5th and 13th September, with the Devon Stage taking place on 6th September. The Tour of Britain starts in Penzance in Cornwall and will end in Aberdeen. Full details will be announced later in the year, including the timings for the Devon stage.
