The exact route for the Tour through Silsden, Keighley and the Worth Valley is likely to be revealed late next month.

Routes in individual areas of the UK are expected to be released soon after the 2014 Tour is officially launched in Paris on October 23.

Tour organisers plan to make a last visit to Yorkshire this month before finalising which roads to use.

Andrew Denton, head of media for the Tour de France Grand Depart at Welcome to Yorkshire, said the team was unlikely to visit Keighley.

Mr Denton said: “They’re happy with what they’ve seen so far in Yorkshire.

“They’re coming back to do a final footprint for the start and finish – York, Harrogate, Leeds and Sheffield.

“They’ve already plotted their route. It’s about 99 per cent as you see it on the website. It won’t be much different to that.”
