British Cycling has named the six riders who will represent the Great Britain Cycling Team at the forthcoming Tour of Britain.

British road champion Adam Blythe, Dan McLay and Tao Geoghegan Hart will link up with Senior Academy trio Gabriel Cullaigh, Mark Stewart and Oliver Wood for the nine-stage race, which begins in Glasgow on Sunday.

Keith Lambert, Great Britain Cycling Team academy coach, said: “We have been able to name an extremely strong team, with several of our riders having already excelled in various races over the summer. The blend of youth and experience is excellent, and will hopefully prove very effective in what will be an extremely high quality race.”
