Tour of Britain Stage 2 Finish - CANCELLED

***Due to safety today's stage of the Tour of Britain has been cancelled.***

Known in previous incarnations as the Milk Race, the kellogg's Tour and the Pru Tour of Britain, the Tour of Britain was granted world championships ranking status in 2004 by the world governing body the UCI (the Union Cyclisme Internationale) thus guaranteeing the cream of the world's cyclists coming to Great Britain.

The Tour of Britainhas placed itself on a global platform along with other major races such as The Tour De France and Giro d'Italia by attracting a combination of teams both nationally and internationally including such Pro Tour Teams as Discovery Channel, T-Mobile, Quickstep, Phonak and Cofidis. The Tour of Britain is determined in the future to become part of the UCI's elite Pro Tour calendar.

Day Two of The Tour of Britain sees the race return to Kendal in the Lake District for the first time since 2007 for, what is likely to be a sprinters stage, to Blackpool.
