Tour of Britain Women 2025 - Stage 2

05.06-08.06

This is a key day for the general classification, with the brutal Saltburn Bank climb set to shape the outcome. The 300-metre ascent, featuring sharp hairpins and gradients up to 15%, has become a modern icon in British cycling. It played a decisive role in the 2023 and 2024 National Road Race Championships and featured in last year’s men’s Tour of Britain, where Stevie Williams claimed victory. This time, riders will face the climb twice — including a summit finish — with the potential for early splits and an exciting finale on the Yorkshire coast.
