Bicycles of all types at Tour of Britain
The fifth and hardest stage of the Tour of Britain cycle race on 10th September 2015 was 166km from Prudhoe in Northumberland to Hartside in Cumbria where there was a summit finish on the road close to the cafe after a gruelling 8.9km climb from Melmerby NY6441 : Hartside summit
Wout Poels (Team Sky) won the stage, overtaking Edvald Boasson Hagen (MTN-Qhubeka) in the final straight, with Benat Intxausti finishing third, some way behind. Boasson Hagen, did enough to take the overall race lead by a single second.
It is thought that over 5,000 people made the climb to Hartside Fell, by bicycle and on foot, to watch the finish.
