Images: Tour of Britain final stage, London
A handful of images that I managed to snap whilst spectating at the 2009 Tour of Britain’s final stage in London.Edvald Boasson Hagen comfortably sealed overall victory in The Tour of Britain, as Italian Michele Merlo sprinted to victory in an action packed stage in front of thousands of spectators in central London. Boasson Hagen crossed the line safely in the peloton to confirm victory; only his second overall win in a stage race.
