    With the dust settling following this morning's announcement of the route of the Tour de Yorkshire 2018, here's what we know now:

    • The 2018 race, a legacy of the Tour de France Grand Depart Yorkshire hosted in 2014, will take place from 3-6 May and will also feature a two-day women's race
    • The Tour has been expanded to four days for 2018, with the women's race to be staged over two days
    • Barnsley, Beverley, Doncaster, Halifax, Leeds, Ilkley, Richmond and Scarborough have been named as the locations for starts and finishes of the stages
    • Stage one is a 180km race from Beverley to Doncaster for the men, shorter for the women, and with only 660m of climbing, is expected to favour the sprinters
    • The second stage ends with a summit finish at the famous Cow and Calf Rocks on Ilkley Moor after a 148km race from Barnsley - again the women's race will be shorter
    • Stage three will be a familiar finish on Scarborough's North Shore after starting in Richmond and taking in the North York Moors
    • And the finale promises to be an intriguing stage, with 3,400m of climbing before finishing on The Headrow outside Leeds Town Hall, where the 2014 Tour de France began.
