Tour of Britain: Carpenter Conquers Stage 2 in Devon

Carpenter Prevails to Win Tour of Britain Stage Two

Robin Carpenter became the first American ever to win a stage in the Tour of Britain, as he held off a late surging peloton to snatch the blue jersey off stage one winner Wout Van Aaert who did not contest the sprint for second place.

Carpenter, who rides for Rally Cycling, lead a solo 25km breakaway group eventually finishing 33 seconds ahead of Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers) and Alex Peters (SwiftCarbon Pro Cycling).

  In a gruelling 184km route from Sherford to Exeter, the 29-year-old moved clear of the rest peloton early on as part of a five-man breakaway group, but as they day progressed, the Philadelphian went from strength to strength, slowly dispatching his opponents as they fell victim to what turned out to be a tough stage. Three category two climbs saw early separations in the peloton, with Carpenter making the most of the intermediate sprints to beat Jacob Scott (Canyon dhb SunGod) at both around the 60km mark.

  As the race meandered through Dartmoor National Park, the climbs of Rundlestone (6.8km at 4 percent) and Warren House Inn (4.6km at 2.4 per cent) lay after 132.3 and 147.8 kilometres, before two more unclassified hills inside the final 30km saw the leading pack spread even thinner, with Carpenter able to lose Scott on a climb just outside Moretonhampstead with 25km remaining.

The American peddled through to the largely flat remaining 10km into Exeter with a commanding four minute lead, although a dramatic late surge from the trailing riders almost saw his lead snatched away. With the leader visibly struggling to close out the race, his advantage fell to 2:20 with just 5km remaining, and then even further to under a minute as he crossed the line 33 seconds ahead of Ethan Hayter.

  Despite this, it was a memorable ride from Carpenter, and one that no one would have expected going into the stage.

“I’ve been wanting a win in Europe for a number of years now and I’ve come really close so it feels amazing,” Carpenter said after the stage.

“We’ve had a lot of success in the last few weeks, and this just builds on it. The leader’s jersey is definitely something I didn’t expect but I’m very, very excited.

“We still had five minutes at 40 kilometres to go so I knew I just had to get rid of everyone else and not worry about babying anyone else to the line or having to worry about anyone outsprinting me. I’ve been out-sprinted before on finishes like this.

“I really wanted the stage win and the leader’s jersey is a big plus. I’ll try to defend it as best I can but I’m not really a climber – you’ll see that on stage 4. I’m just really thankful for this opportunity.”

The tour moves on to Carmarthenshire for the first of two stages in Wales, where it will host only the third team time trail in the event’s history. It follows a hilly 18.2km route from Ffairfach, Llandeilo to the National Botanic Garden of Wales.

Tour of Britain Preview: Everything You Need to Know About This Year’s Event

Looking Ahead to this Year’s Tour of Britain

The Tour of Britain returns to the racing calendar after being halted by the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, and the anticipation for this year’s race has been ramped up by talk of increased difficulty for the field.

The race commences on Sunday 5th September in Cornwall and the riders will face a collective 1308.5km cycle before the tour wraps up in Aberdeen the following Sunday.

The tour will visit Cornwall for the first time since its inception with the Grand Depart taking place in Penzance, following a picturesque route all the way through to the famous moors in Bodmin to begin the tour. Stage one will see competitors hit a 500m climb that starts at 13% and averages 5% before flattening off in the final 250m of the stage, passing through landmarks such as the Eden Project and St Ives in what promises to be a spectacle for roadside fans.

    Stage two then sees the tour move to neighbouring county Devon, starting in Sherford and crossing the equally picturesque backdrop of Dartmoor to finish in Exeter. It will see the first real test for the climbers in the pack at Rundlestone, which includes an 8.7km ascension, before climbing even further to Warren House Inn which sits at 1,425 feet above see level making it the highest pub in the South of England.

Another first for the Tour of Britain sees stages three and four hosted in Wales, the first of which being the second ever team time-trial through Carmarthenshire, before the longest of the eight stages sees the riders face a gruelling 210km ride through mid-Wales. This includes crossing through Snowdonia National Park where a brutal ending to the stage sees the race head up the Great Orme Marine Drive toll road, which is a   1.9km, 9.8% average climb that runs parallel to the famous tramway.

  The tour then moves back to the North West of England, starting at Alderley Park and following a 150km route all the way to the finish line in Warrington, where the the winner will be claim victory in front of the town’s famous Golden Gates that guard Warrington Town Hall. After meandering and climbing through Cheshire and the foothills of the Peak District, the finale in Warrington is expected to be the first sprint finish.

    Before the 2021 tour enters Scotland, stage six sees a coast-to-coast trek starting in Carlisle and following a similar route to that seen in the last three iterations of the tour across the North Pennines in Cumbria. However, the race 198km race will culminate outside the iconic Angel of the North sculpture, seeing Gateshead host its first stage finish since 2009.

The tour wraps up in Scotland, with stage seven heading to Hardwick for the first time, while Edinburgh will host its first stage finish having welcomed two starts in 2015 and 2017. To complete the tour, Aberdeenshire will host the most northerly stage ever in the Tour of Britain following a 173km cycle round the East Coast. It will feature a much-anticipated ascent of the famed Cairn o’Mount climb in the opening kilometres, before this year’s overall winner will be crowned on Aberdeen’s picturesque Esplanade on September 12th, some 700 miles from the initial starting point in Penzance.

    Alongside WorldTour teams such as Deceuninck and Ineos Grenadiers, the Great British Cycling Team have also announced their line up which includes six senior academy riders;
