The start and finish locations of the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire have been announced.
Bridlington, Leeds, Scarborough, Selby, Wakefield and York will all feature - but their exact place in the 2015 race remains under wraps.
The event takes place between 1 and 3 May and precise route details will be revealed on 21 January.
The three-day cycle race was announced in September and hopes to build on the success of the Tour de France.
'Huge milestone'
The new event, which is approved by governing body the UCI, will be run by Welcome to Yorkshire and Amaury Sport Organisation, which operates the Tour de France.
It is hoped the event, which will be broadcast on television, will attract some of the world's leading cyclists.
Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: "This is another huge milestone for Yorkshire as we position the county as the cycling heartland of Europe.
"This is the first ever Tour de Yorkshire, I am confident it will become a huge annual event and something that will raise Yorkshire's profile year on year."
