The 2019 Women's Tour of Scotland was the inaugural and only edition of the Women's Tour of Scotland, a women's cycling stage race held in Scotland, UK. [3] It was run from 9 to 11 August 2019. The race was scheduled for 3 stages, covering a total of 359.2 kilometres (223.2 miles), but the race's opening stage was abandoned due to adverse weather conditions. [4] It was classified as a class 2.1 event by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).

The race was won by American rider Leah Thomas, riding for the Bigla Pro Cycling team. [5] Having finished fourth in the second stage in Perth – won by Canada's Alison Jackson (Tibco–Silicon Valley Bank) – Thomas won the final stage in an eight-rider sprint at Holyrood Park in Edinburgh, and with bonus seconds accumulated at intermediate sprints during the day, Thomas assumed the leader's jersey from Jackson by five seconds. [2] [6] The podium was completed by Norwegian rider Stine Borgli, riding for a Norwegian national team, a further two seconds back, [2] after two third-place stage finishes.

The Bigla Pro Cycling team won the other three jerseys that were on offer during the race. [7] Thomas was the winner of the points classification alongside her general classification victory, [8] while the team's leader Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig led the mountains classification [9] from start-to-finish, and Nikola Nosková was the winner of the young rider classification, after a ninth-place finish on the final stage allowed her to take the jersey from Rally UHC Cycling's Emma White. [10] The best Scottish rider during the race was Scottish junior national road race champion Anna Shackley, who finished in thirteenth place overall. [2] [11]

History

The first and only edition was held in 2019 as a 2.1 category race on the UCI women's road cycling calendar. [12] The event folded when the organizers, Zeus Sports, ceased trading having failed to pay debts following the 2019 event. [13]
