It will be the seventh consecutive year that The Tour will have visited Devon. In that time it has brought in more than £21 million to the local economy and showcased the county to a worldwide audience. Last year alone generated more than £7.3 million in Devon in a record breaking year.

This year's Devon Stage will start on the Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site in Sidmouth and will cover around 85 miles (137 km) of the county before finishing with a testing climb at Haytor in Dartmoor National Park. The route will also see 96 of the world’s top cyclists race through Honiton, Willand, Tiverton, Stoke Canon, Exeter, Starcross, Chudleigh, Moretonhampstead, and Bovey Tracey before the challenging climax in Dartmoor National Park.
