LONDON:
Jonathan Tiernan-Locke became the first home rider in 19 years to win the Tour of Britain. The 27-year-old started the final stage 18 seconds ahead of Austrian Nathan Haas and 23 in front of Italian Damiano Caruso. And Tiernan-Locke secured victory after finishing in the main bunch behind compatriot and world champion Mark Cavendish who took his third stage win in Guildford, south of London. British duo Peter Williams and Kristian House won the sprint and king of the mountains jerseys respectively. “It’s fantastic,” said Tiernan-Locke. “It hasn’t really sunk in yet. It was a tough day, a lot tougher than we thought. So I feel relief more than anything.”
