Tour of Britain - Stage 8

I had a fantastic day with my wife today watching the cycling and wandering around London. We were both surprised as to just how close we were able to get to the Team Sky riders - until we walked further up the road and realised that everyone was clambering for a picture of Mark Cavendish!

Geraint Thomas (above) took a lot of time to sign autographs and speak to the fans - he really is a good ambassador for the sport. He went on to win the points jersey on the road race stage after his team mate Alex Dowestt won the time trial earlier on. Mark Cavendish gave the fans what they wanted and won the stage - so all round a good day for British cycling on the final day of the Tour of Britain!
