Stage 2: Barnsley - Ilkley 128 km

Well now things get really interesting. Not a flat meter and then an uphill finish to boot. 2.5 kms at about 7% average, not the type of finale we see often in women's races.

Lass of the Day : Megan Guarnier

I'm going to put my two bob on a duel between Guarnier and Elisa Longho Borghini with Gillow, Ensing and Dani Rowe rounding out the top 5.

Stage 1: Beverly - Doncaster 132.5 km

Easy sprinters stage for the early birds in Yorkshire.

There will be live video of both the stages on ITV and British Eurosport, foreign viewers will have to use their cleverness and resources.

Lass of the Day : Kirsten Wild

Hard to look past the biggest sprinter here but riders like Hannah Barnes, Amelie Dideriksen and Marta Bastianelli may want something to say about it.
