I don't know but I'd guess that ASO own the "Tour de Yorkshire" name/brand so anything they attempted would be under a different name.

I don't see any reason why ASO would not work with the new organisation just as they did with the old one.

Money.
If the new organisation can do what the previous one tried and failed to do, which is to get cash from local councils or authorities or sponsors or whatever I guess ASO might be interested. But that task is likely to be getting harder what with the economic outlook.

I don't think the ASO own the brand. There is complex relationship between ASO & UCI, but you need the TdeY to be a UCI event to pull in the top teams, punters and TV rights money so need UCI & ASO on board.
At least Yorks has a ToB stage this summer, although I assume the Manchester based ecommerce company has no involvement in that, individual cities / regions bid for a start / finish / stage.

No agreement with ASO https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-62334806
