Following a day of riding in South Yorkshire the Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Men heads to the East Midlands for stage four.

The route will take the peloton from Derby to Newark-on-Trent, and there are plenty of great spots for fans to watch the race along a 138.5-kilometer route. Starting in the city of Derby the route will then head out into Derbyshire, marking it the first time the Tour has visited the country since 2015. After this the riders will cross into Robin Hood county, Nottinghamshire, taking in Eastwood, Hucknall, Southall, Tuxford and Collingham before arriving in Newark-on-Trent.

Want to be part of the action? We've selected some of the the best places to catch stage four below!

Start

For the first time in the 20-year history of the modern race, the city of Derby will welcome the race, with the stage getting underway at 11:00 from outside of the Derby Arena. Fans see the teams and riders being presented to the crowds from 10:00 onwards as they prepare for the neutralised start.

Intermediate Sprints

Stage four of the Lloyds Tour of Britain Men will feature a single intermediate sprint, located in the village of Collingham situated just under 19 kilometres from the stage finish. With valuable points on offer in the race for the points jersey and teams beginning to think about the all important stage finish, expect exciting racing at the sprint in Collingham.

Heanor

Heanor, in Derbyshire's Amber Valley, will host bike themed celebrations with live music in the town's market place when the race passes through (11:49). The town has been home to bike manufacturers and the Heanor Clarion Cycling Club, who count EF Education-East Post rider James Shaw as among their former riders.

As well as the celebrations in the town centre, you could also visit the world's oldest Christmas pudding maker, Matthew Walker, established 1899. A humble Derbyshire farmer's son, he began by producing a range of preserves and puddings based on his mother's special recipes, and the race passes close by their current factory.

Southwell

The historic minster and market town of Southwell could be an ideal place to catch the action as it races through on the way to Newark-on-Trent.

Home to Southall Minster, a cathedral with over 900 years of history, Southall has plenty of cafes, tea rooms and pubs for riders and groups looking for a spot to catch the action and refuel before heading onwards to the stage finish at Newark-on-Trent just a short drive along the A617.

The race is due to pass through Southwell at approximately 12:51 and riders on two wheels can expect to be in Newark in around 45 minutes (roughly 20 minutes by car), leaving plenty of time to see the conclusion of the race at approximately 14:32.

Finish

Stage four will conclude with a crossing of the river Trent and a thrilling ride alongside Sconce and Devon Park in Newark-on-Trent before ending on Victoria Steet. This will be the third time Newark-on-Trent has hosted a stage finish of the Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain, with previous winners being Fernando Gaviria (2017) and Olav Kooij (2023).

Fans can enjoy food, drink and entertainment in the fan village following the conclusion of the stage, as well as celebrate with the teams and riders as the jerseys and stage awards are presented.
