Tour of Britain 2023 Route stage 4: Sherwood Forest - Newark-on-Trent

The route is mostly undulating. Two sections are rendered KOM-worthy – Kilton Hill early in the race (500 metres at 4.4%) and Red Hill Lane (800 metres at 2.4%) around the midway marker. In between the two category 3 climbs the riders pass the Tom Simpson Memorial in Haworth.

There is still 85 kilometres of predominantly flat roads remaining after the top of Red Hill Lane. So, a bunch sprint is the most likely outcome on Victoria Street in Newark-on-Trent, close to the banks of the River Trent and the town’s castle with its enchanting gardens.

Is Fernando Gaviria going to triumph again? The Colombian sprinter powered to victory in Newark-on-Trent six years ago, besting Elia Viviani, Alexander Kristoff and Dylan Groenewegen in a close finish.
