Focus on Tadcasterpublished at 09:09 British Summer Time 29 April 2017
Tadcaster is the start for both of today's races.
The Tour de Yorkshire women's race and stage two of the men's event will start on the now infamous rebuilt 18th Century bridge over the River Wharfe that partially collapsed following the Boxing Day floods of 2015, which left the town of 6,500 people cut in two to traffic.

Some livelihoods were washed away that day, business for others dried up in the 13 months it took to reunite the town as footfall dropped dramatically and a detour of more than 10 miles was needed to reach the other side of the town by road.
