Welcome to the Tour de l'Avenir West Midlands, the race for the future.

Following our inaugural event last year, we are proud to present the Tour de l'Avenir West Midlands - la deuxieme edition.

Featuring three stages in ten categories over two days, this promises some excellent racing - and with plenty of other off-the-bike activities - a whole lot of fun.

League points for riders competing in the West Midlands Youth Circuit Series.

Leaders' jerseys will be awarded in each category after each stage.

Each category is supported by a professional rider from the West Midlands (who have all raced at Tudor Grange). Follow in the footsteps of some amazing talent - National Champions, Olympic and Paralympic Gold medalists, Grand Tour stage winners, Tour de France riders and much, much more!

Such talent - and the Tour de l'Avenir West Midlands is for the talent of the future.

Supporting the Girls categories are:

Sophie Capewell MBE

Gaby Homer

Danni Khan MBE

Grace Lister

Josie Nelson

And supporting the Open categories we have:

Ben Askey

Lewis Askey

Ben Healy

Jack Rootkin-Gray

Jake Stewart

There will be separate girls and open competitions in each age band from under-8s to under-16s. We will start the event with a short prologue time trial on Saturday morning on the purpose-built closed circuit at Tudor Grange in Solihull, followed by an endurance race in the afternoon.

On Sunday, we will return to the prestigious Jaguar Land Rover proving ground at Fen End for longer races, with C, D, and E categories on the city circuit - extended from last year, featuring two straights and a very twisty-turny section to challenge riders to bring out their best.

The A and B categories will race on the main test track on two-and-a half-miles of pristine tarmac - It'll be a great challenge for riders to really get their heads down..
