Steve Cummings (Dimension Data) became only the second British rider to win the modern Tour of Britain as Caleb Ewan (Orica-BikeExchange) won the final stage in London.
Cummings finished in the peloton to successfully defend his 26-lead, as expected, over BMC Racing’s Rohan Dennis, with Tom Dumoulin (Giant-Alpecin) finishing third overall.
The victory – Cummings’ first stage race win since the 2014 Tour Mediterraneen – caps a great year for the 35-year-old Merseysider, who has also won stages at four WorldTour races, including the Tour de France.
And after team-mate Edvald Boasson Hagen won the Tour of Britain in 2015, Dimension Data have now won back-to-back editions of the Tour of Britain as a result.
