Brighton Wheel has turned yellow to welcome the Tour of Britain which will arrive in Sussex tomorrow.
The iconic city structure will also be illuminated yellow, the colour of the leader’s jersey, tomorrow evening.
More than 250,000 people are expected to watch the race with live coverage broadcast on ITV4.
It will be live for more than five hours with local businesses expected to rake in an extra £3million.
Hotels and restaurants are booked out and extra buses are being put on to ferry spectators along the route.
Sir Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish will be the star attractions, but it will be fellow Brit Alex Dowsett who will wear the yellow jersey into Brighton.
