“It is fantastic that the Tour of Britain is coming to Dorset on Saturday, and I’m particularly pleased that so many people across the country will see the cyclists travel through several parts of our beautiful constituency. From Wareham to Bere Regis, and then later in the afternoon through Wimborne: what a brilliant, beautiful and challenging route!”
