Deignan ready for emotional farewell

The Sentinel

June 05, 2025

Emotions will be running high for Lizzie Deignan at the Tour of Britain Women, which begins today.

After announcing in November that this would be her final season as a professional, Deignan has been saying her goodbyes at races all year.

But it will mean a little more at her last event on British soil, a race she has won twice in its previous guise as the Women's Tour, and one that this year happens to start on home roads in Yorkshire.

"I'll feel incredibly emotional," Deignan told the PA news agency.
