The '''Tour of Britain''' is a [[road bicycle racing|cycle race]], conducted over several stages, in which participants race from place to place across parts of [[Great Britain]].
The event dates back to the first British stage races held just after the [[Second World War]], since when various events have been described as the Tour of Britain, including the Milk Race, the Kellogg's Tour of Britain and the PruTour. The current version of the Tour of Britain is part of the [[UCI Europe Tour]].
==History==
===Origins===
The Tour of Britain, known for many years as the Milk Race, has its origins in a dispute between cyclists during the [[second world war]]. The British administrative body, the [[National Cyclists' Union]] (NCU), had feared since the 19th century that massed racing on the roads would endanger all racing, including early-morning [[time trials]] and, originally, the very place of cyclists on the road.<ref>"From James Moore to Laurent Fignon", Cyclist Monthly, Sept 1983</ref>
A race organised from Llangollen to Wolverhampton on 7 June 1942, in defiance of the NCU, led to its organisers and riders being banned. They formed a new body, the [[British League of Racing Cyclists]] (BLRC), which wanted not only massed racing but a British version of the [[Tour de France]].<ref>"100 years of racing", ''[[Cycling Weekly|Cycling]]'', April 29, 1978</ref>
The first stage, or multi-day, race in Britain was the Southern Grand Prix in [[Kent]] in August 1944.<ref name=ride>"Ride and Be Damned", Chas Messenger, Pedal Publishing (UK) 1998</ref> It was won by Les Plume of [[Manchester]]; the first stage was won by [[Percy Stallard]], the organiser of the Llangollen-Wolverhampton race in 1942.
The experience encouraged the BLRC to run a bigger race, the Victory Cycling Marathon, to celebrate the end of the war in 1945. It ran from [[Brighton]] to [[Glasgow]] in five stages and was won by Robert Batot of [[France]], with Frenchmen in six places in the top 10, winners of the mountains competition and best team.
Chas Messenger, a BLRC official and historian, said: "No one had ever put on a stage race in this country, other than the Southern Grand Prix, and even fewer people had even seen one. So raw were they that Jimmy Kain [the organiser] even wrote to the [[Auto-cycle Union]] [the body for car racing] and the flags used by them were taken as a guide to what was needed.<ref name=ride/> Kain recalled the precarious budget: "£44 entry fees and £130 of my own money and £16 when I went round with the hat after the Bradford stage."<ref> Letter to Percy Stallard, 1 January 1979 </ref>
The writer Roger St Pierre said:
:"It was reported that 20,000 watched the start but I've seen a picture which would indicate it was probably three or four times that number. What outsiders didn't see though was just what a ramshackle affair it all was, with riders finishing stages often miles longer than billed then having to find a bed for the night - with the poorer riders ending up spending the night huddled in barns, haylofts or even under the hedgerows."<ref> St Pierre, Roger, Cycling Plus, UK, undated</ref>
The BLRC was not recognised by the world governing body, the [[Union Cycliste Internationale]] and so it recruited its French riders from another rebel organisation, the [[communist]] Fédération Sportive et Gymnastique du Travail, using French café-owners in [[Soho]], [[London]], as their link.
===Sponsors and politics===
The Victory Cycling Marathon was run on what little money the BLRC could raise. Riders stayed in cheap boarding houses and officials used their own cars. In 1947, the ''[[News of the World]]'' gave £500 to the race, by then called Brighton-Glasgow. Within a year it pulled out again, concerned by the internal arguments that had bedevilled the BLRC from the start. The 1950 race was sponsored by ''Sporting Record'', another newspaper, followed by the ''[[Daily Express]]'' in 1952.
The cycling official John Dennis said in 2002:
:"The most effective sponsor of the Tour of Britain (the ''Daily Express'') was lost as a result of the constant bickering between rival officials and organisations. I was the press officer to the ''Express'' publicity director, Albert Asher, and saw it all happen. He was upset by the petty disagreements and decided to support the new Formula 1 motor-racing instead."<ref>Fellowship News, Fellowship of Cycling Old Timers, issue 28, 2002</ref>
Sponsorship was taken up by the makers of Quaker Oats in 1954 and then, in 1958, by the [[Milk Marketing Board]].
===The Milk Race===
The Milk Marketing Board (MMB) was a sales monopoly for dairy farmers in England and Wales. A semi-professional cyclist from [[Derby]], Dave Orford, asked the MMB to pay for "Drink more milk" to be embroidered on the jersey of every semi-professional, or independent, rider in the country. The MMB could then advertise that races had been won because of the properties of milk and the winner would receive a £10 bonus as a result.
Orford met the MMB's publicity officer, Reg Pugh, at the board's headquarters in Thames Ditton, west of [[London]]. Orford said: "At the end of the discussion he stated that the MMB would prefer to sponsor a major international marathon. So the Milk Race, the Tour of Britain, was born, starting in 1958 and lasting for 35 years, the longest cycle sponsorship in the UK ever."<ref>Private papers, January 2003</ref>
The first two races were open to semi-professionals but from 1960 until 1984 it was open only to amateurs. From 1985 until 1993 the Milk Race was open to both amateurs and professionals. After 1993 the Milk Race ended as the MMB was wound up because of European monopoly laws.
===Kellogg's Tour and PruTour===
The professional Kellogg's Tour of Britain began in 1987 and eight editions were completed. The [[Prudential plc]]-sponsored PruTour (1998-1999) ran twice.

===2004 Tour of Britain===
The first edition of the latest version of the '''Tour of Britain''' took place over five days in early September 2004, organised by SweetSpot in collaboration with [[British Cycling]]. Sponsored by the organisers of London's [[2012 Olympics]] bid, it attracted teams such as [[T-Mobile Team|T-Mobile]] ([[Germany]]) and [[U.S. Postal Service cycling team|U.S. Postal Service]] ([[USA]]). This was partly due to its being a 2.3 category race on the [[Union Cycliste Internationale]] (UCI) calendar.
The 2004 route climaxed with a 45-mile (72km) [[criterium]] in [[London]], where tens of thousands of spectators saw a long break by Londoner [[Bradley Wiggins]] last until the penultimate lap, with Enrico Degano of [[Team Barloworld]] taking the sprint on the line. The [[Colombia]]n [[Mauricio Ardila]], of [[Chocolade Jacques-Topsport Vlaanderen|Chocolade Jacques]], won the race overall.
