The Tour of Britain is the premier road cycling event in Great Britain, as the name would suggest.
The tour dates back to 1945 but has changed considerably since then. It ran until 1999, when safety concerns and sponsor withdrawal led to its demise.
In 2004 however, it returned as a professional men's race.
The leader and victor of the Tour of Britain dons a green jersey, the most coveted of the four on offer on the tour.
