Britain: Cummings has lead cut ahead of finale

LONDON (AFP) — Steve Cummings saw his lead cut heading into the final day of the Tour of Britain but the veteran remains 26 seconds in front of the pack after Saturday’s daunting double stage.

The British rider, 35, who has enjoyed stage wins on four major races this year, including the Criterium du Dauphine and the Tour de France, started Saturday 49 seconds ahead of the field.

But Australia’s Rohan Dennis (BMC), who won the penultimate stage having finished second in the time trial earlier Saturday in Bristol, southwest England, closed the gap.

However, Dimension Data rider Cummings remained out in front after coming fourth in the stage 7a time trial and finishing within the main group at the end of stage 7b.

Tony Martin (Etixx – Quick-Step) won the time trial by three seconds from Dennis, with Tom Dumoulin (Giant – Alpecin) in third.

Dennis attacked again on the day’s second stage but Cummings kept him within range to stay ahead for Sunday’s big finish in London.

“It was a tough two stages,” Cummings said. “First off in the morning the conditions were treacherous really with the rain so I was happy to get that done and limit my losses.

“Luckily the weather improved in the afternoon so that was less of a concern, it was just about not losing the race at the start and being attentive at the end.

“I still limited my losses though and kept the jersey so it’s a good day for everyone.”
