Yorkshire tourism boss quits after expenses probe

Sir Gary Verity brought a number of high profile cycle races to Yorkshire

He also instigated the annual Tour de Yorkshire race, the fifth edition of which will be staged in May, and led the way in securing the rights to host the UCI Road Cycling World Championships which will be staged in Yorkshire in September.Over the last decade tourism boss Sir Gary Verity has become an increasingly important and influential sporting figure, the driving force behind Yorkshire's emergence as the UK's unofficial capital of the sport.

His shock resignation is bad timing, just five weeks before the highest-profile edition of the event to date with four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome taking part and with the controversial launch of Team Ineos after the petrochemical company's takeover of Team Sky.
