LOCAL HONDA DEALER OFFERING EXCLUSIVE CHANCE TO RIDE AMONG THE RACERS IN STOKE-ON-TRENT

The excitement of the prestigious 2010 Tour of Britain professional cycle race is coming to Stoke-on-Trent – and local Honda dealer Crewe Honda is offering one lucky winner the opportunity to see the second stage of the race from the front seat of a Honda travelling side by side with the cyclists.

Honda has one VIP ticket to give away – instead of watching the event from the sidelines, the lucky winner will get a seat in one of the Honda road cars which drive just a few metres away from the racers for the entire race. This incredible, one of a kind experience offers an unbeatable view of the action, allowing the winner to follow the race in a way that others only dream of.

Honda (UK) is the Official Car Partner to the Tour of Britain and motorcycle provider to the Tour’s ITV4 mobile television crew. Commencing on 12 September, local Honda dealers Crewe Honda will be supporting the second stage of the eight day race. Because Honda is the official vehicle supplier, Honda cars and motorcycles will be used throughout the event, accompanying riders on their 763 mile journey around Britain, and the Crewe dealer will have a dedicated presence at the start and finish line, hosting giveaways and cheering the cyclists on.

The Tour of Britain is the UK's biggest professional bicycle race, and attracted more than a million roadside spectators in 2009. Now in its seventh year, the race will begin in Rochdale, Greater Manchester on Saturday 11 September, and will finish seven days later in London. The event will come to Stoke-on-Trent on Sunday 12 September.

Honda’s support of the Tour of Britain is a natural partnership. The company has been part of the UK manufacturing scene since 1985, and cars produced in Honda’s Swindon plant include the Civic, CR-V and Jazz. The Tour of Britain entourage will be using Honda cars and motorcycles, including the Honda Civic and ST1300 Pan European.

Honda is also supporting British-born rider and Olympic gold medallist Ed Clancy as he takes part in the Tour of Britain.
