Tour of Britain as it happened
3:20pm Congratulations to today's winner - Matty Brennan
Today was an absolutely incredible day as Stage 3 of the Lloyds Tour of Britain Men made its debut through our area—from Milton Keynes all the way to a thrilling sprint finish in Ampthill’s Great Park.
It was the first time the race has ever visited Central Bedfordshire, making this moment even more special.
A big congratulations to today's winner, Matty Brennan, pictured receiving his prize from Councillor Adam Zerny - Leader of the Council.
Thank you
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support—whether you lined the streets in Woburn, cheered through Barton-le-Clay, watched the double loop around Northill and Old Warden, or gathered at the finish—your energy and enthusiasm made the event unforgettable.
We hope today inspired the cycling hero within each of us—whether you’re a lifelong rider or simply discovered your love for the sport. Thanks to all the volunteers, partners, and residents who made this day so memorable. It’s been a fantastic showcase of our region’s spirit, scenery, and community strength.
Here’s to more days like this—and to the riders continuing their journey across the UK!
