On Tuesday, the 2015 Tour of Britain was unveiled by the organizers at Wembley Stadium in London. This race runs September 6-13 with a first ever Grand Depart for Wales and a route that includes the race’s toughest ever summit finish. We may notice that there will be a revamped final stage in the heart of London and no individuel time trial.

"Overall we are absolutely delighted with the course for the 2015 Friends Life Tour of Britain and believe it offers something for everybody across eight very different stages", Mick Bennett, race director, told according a press release. "Our hope and intention is to again encourage eight days of aggressive, uninhibited racing, the sort of action that we hope is becoming the trademark of the race.  We want our national Tour to reflect the tough terrain which is part and parcel of our cycling scene in the UK, and to showcase both the race and the British countryside to spectators at the roadside and to the television audience both at home and around the world."
