The tour will feature five races in five days from Wednesday, 2 September to Sunday, 6 September - starting on day one in Lincoln and finishing on day five in the Scottish Borders region in Earlston.

Also joining Bostock at the tour will be his teammate from the 2026 Commonwealth Games, Ben Swift, who is part of the Netcompany INEOS squad for the event.
