Tour of Britain 2024 Route + results stage 1: Kelso - Kelso
Tuesday 3 September - The Tour of Britain gets underway in the picturesque Scottish Borders. Adding up to 181.9 kilometres, the 1st stage starts and finishes on the cobbled market square in Kelso.
The cobbled market square of Kelso has seen two stage finishes in the past seven editions. In 2017, Caleb Ewan outsprinted Edvald Boasson Hagen and Elia Viviani at the line. Two years after that, Alex Dowsett aimed to outsmart the fast men with a late attack, but he was caught within the last 50 metres before Matteo Trentin bested Jasper De Buyst and Mike Teunissen.
The Kelso stage takes place entirely within the Scottish Borders. It features several laps and passes through Coldstream, Gordon, Melrose, Denholm, Jedburgh and St Boswells. There are five KOM sprints, while the route takes in an elevation gain of 2,381 metres.
The final climb, Dingleton (2.6 kilometres at 6.1%), comes 23 kilometres from the finish in Kelso.
