We're Racing the Tour of Britain 2026!
Handsling Alba are heading to the Tour of Britain Women this August — five stages racing against the best riders in the world.
We believe personal development is the key to unlocking success. This race is your chance to see what that looks like in action.
"The Lloyds Tour of Britain Women is a huge highlight for us. It is our only WorldTour race on home soil and a unique chance for our sponsors, supporters and anyone taking an interest in the team to see us race in person. With a route running from Cumbria down to Warwickshire and a proper climb on the Great Orme, it's a great test for the riders in a talented field. The five stages will provide exactly the kind of experience and exposure our team needs to continue to pioneer athlete development to elevate riders to the Women's WorldTour." — Bob Lyons, Performance Director & Team Manager
Here's everything you need to know, and everywhere you can follow along.
