CLEETHORPES MP Martin Vickers, pictured, has made a bid for the 2014 Tour de France to cross the Humber Bridge on its journey south.
He said the "iconic construction" would make a "fantastic advert" for the civil engineering skills of British industry.
The call comes after Yorkshire beat worldwide competition to bring the world's largest annual sporting event to the county.
The finalised route will be unveiled next month, but there has been speculation the world's best cyclists will cross the iconic landmark on the last leg of the Yorkshire Moors route back to Leeds.
Speaking in a parliamentary debate about the event, Mr Vickers said: "The ideal route to get out of Yorkshire is over the Humber Bridge."
After passing over the bridge, Mr Vickers said the riders could "then head to the winner of Britain In Bloom, and the east coast's premier resort, Cleethorpes.
"From there, the beauty of the Lincolnshire Wolds opens up – an area of outstanding natural beauty with magnificent landscapes."
Mr Vickers said the tour was also a "great opportunity to boost our local economies".
"I urge the Government to co-ordinate every possible agency to work on that, so that we can benefit the whole economy."
Responding for the Government, Sports Minister Hugh Robertson did not make a specific commitment on the route but said the Tour de France coming to Yorkshire was "a fantastic triumph".
