The first race to end in an intense Sunday's racing was held in the capital city of the United Kingdom. The 85km circuit course in London, closing the 2015 Tour of Britain, witnessed another victory for Viviani (SKY) after Greipel (LTS) was releagated due to irregular sprinting. Juanjo Lobato was the fastest into the sprint, yet found himself slightly boxed in after support from Dowsett at the front of the bunch.

The Andalusian's 2nd place, his third in the race, was the end of a nice Tour of Britain for the Movistar Team, with two days in the lead for Lobato and a sixth place overall for Rubén Fernández behind Norwegian Edvald Boasson Hagen (MTN). Gorka Izagirre was forced to abandon due to a mechanical halfway through this final stage.

"Beautiful Tour we have done, but bittersweet to see that we could have won a stage. This will continue," Lobato tweeted after the stage
