£30 million needed for 2027 Tour de France British Grands Départs legacy, leaders say

Cycling leaders have called for £30 million in funding to create a lasting legacy from the 2027 Tour de France Grand Départs in Britain, which are scheduled to visit the country the following year. An open letter addressed to the prime minister urges the government to invest in safe and accessible cycling infrastructure across the UK. The initiative aims to capitalise on the high-profile event to encourage more people to cycle and improve conditions for riders nationwide.
