MEN JUNIOR ROAD RACE: Thursday 26th September 2019
The first 37km of this rolling parcours sees the peloton head into the Dales where the first key climb of the day is awaiting them at Kidstones (1.12 pm). This early ramp should provide an ideal opportunity for a breakaway to move clear, but the peloton will have ample time to plug that gap on the relatively flat section which follows before Burnsall. The route passes through Threshfield and the historic landmarks of Barden Tower and Bolton Abbey (2.00 pm) will then be passed before the second main climb of the day comes between Beamsley and Blubberhouses. This drag onto the exposed moorland could catch some riders unaware before they sweep into Harrogate (2.36 pm) and take on three laps of the circuit before one final sprint for victory along Parliament Street (3.33 pm).
