Tour of Britain 2024 Route stage 6: Lowestoft - Felixstowe
Sunday 8 September - The Tour of Britain's final stage takes the riders through Suffolk from Lowestoft to Felixstowe. The route is 158.4 kilometres long and it features an elevation gain of 817 metres - so, that's flat.
The riders set off from the promenade in Lowestoft and travel to a sea side finish in Felixstowe. In other words, the riders travel from coast to the same coast, only somewhat more to the south.
Sea Road in Felixstowe holds the stage finish, as it did last year. Positioning will be essential when it comes to a sprint, as two 90 degrees lefthanders mark the last 600 metres.
Wout van Aert didn’t want to wait that long last year. He jumped off the front of the peloton just after the flamme rouge, and held off the charging bunch to take the stage win and leader’s jersey, which set him up for the overall race victory.
In 2021, the Flemish powerhouse also took the win in the Tour of Britain.
The race from Lowestoft to Felixstowe is the flattest stage of this year’s Tour of Britain. So, under normal circumstances, this should be a chance for the fast finishers to shine.
Stage 6 of the Tour of Britain starts at 11:00 BST, and the race is expected to finish around 15:05 BST.
