Councillor Anne Handley, leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, encouraged people to line the roads to support the competitors, as well as decorating their towns and villages and creating land art along the route.
“Hosting a whole stage of the Tour of Britain is such an exciting event for the East Riding,” said Cllr Handley
“As the riders speed through our picturesque landscape, from Goole to Bridlington to Beverley and everywhere in between, let’s line the roads, cheer for the competitors, and show off our creativity with spectacular decorations and land art masterpieces.
“This is a day to showcase the beauty of the East Riding, so let’s make it unforgettable!”
To allow the race to take place safely, there will be some road closures at the start and finish lines, and rolling road closures as the peloton makes its way along the route.
More information on road closures will be published in the run-up to the race.
The Tour of Britain 2023 will start in Greater Manchester on Sunday, 3 September, and finish in South Wales a week later.
The race will be televised daily on ITV4.
