Tour Of Britain Rides Through Bristol

Friday, September 12th 2014

Bristol was the backdrop to another thrilling day of action as the Tour Of Britain picked up pace this Wednesday.

Sir Bradley Wiggins had a disappointing day finishing a full six seconds behind stage winner and Tour leader Michal Kwiatkowski.

Poland's Kwiatkowski won a sprint finish on Durdham Downs to claim a time bonus and take the yellow jersey by three seconds from Edoardo Zardini.

Thousands of Bristolians turned out to cheer on cyclists as they carved a path through North Bristol during stage four, beginning at Wotton-under-Edge, passing through Henbury, continuing along the Portway and up Bridge Valley Road before the sprint finish on Durdham Downs.
