Stage 3 brings the race to Milton Keynes and Central Bedfordshire, featuring rolling countryside, a looped section for spectators, and a punchy uphill finish into Ampthill.
The stage rolls out through Campbell Park and Caldecotte, passing the Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 HQ, before racing begins. Riders head into Woburn Sands, then on to Woburn Abbey Deer Park, Toddington, and Barton-le-Clay, brushing past the chalk ridges of Sharpenhoe Clappers.
A highlight for fans: a double-loop east of Biggleswade, featuring the intermediate sprint near Northill and a KOM climb at Hillfoot, near Old Warden. Spectators here will see the peloton twice.
After the second climb (700m at 5.2%), the riders have just 16 km left to race, finishing with a fast sprint into Ampthill town centre, down Woburn Street, to the line on Woburn Road.
📍 Great places to watch:
• Campbell Park (neutral roll-out)
• Northill sprint or Old Warden KOM (double loop!)
• Ampthill town centre for the finish
