2015 Britain Tour to Start in Anglesey and Finish in London
The race will start on Sunday, September 6, with a stage starting on
the island of Anglesey and finishing in Wrexham after a lumpy ride of
177km, including the nasty Pen-y-Pass climb.
Lancashire hosts stage two, which includes the Nick O'Pendle climb, before the race heads further north, with stage three finishing in the Scottish borders town of Kelso and stage four starting in Holyrood Park in Edinburgh.
But the race could be won and lost on stage five, which will trace Hadrian's Wall from Prudhoe in Northumberland into Cumbria and the Lake District before finishing atop Hartside Fell in the Pennines. At five miles long and 1,904ft high, it will be the highest and toughest summit finish in modern Tour of Britain history.
