Great excitement in Beverley at the start of the Tour de Yorkshire 2016

What a great start to the Tour de Yorkshire in Beverley this morning. The rain didn’t put off the crowds and the school children were cheering as the teams did their ceremonial circuit.

There was a lot of interest in the team support area as keen cyclists had a chance to get up close to the bikes.

By the start of the race the rain had cleared for a while as the teams whizzed past.
