Through the wins, losses, crashes, bashes, laughs, tears, beers, high fives and long drives it has been an incredible journey. Thank you to everyone that made the dream a reality. Enjoy this short video looking back on our adventure.

A great way for @MadisonGenesis to bow out from the @OVOEnergy Tour of Britain 💪

Congratulations to @MatthewHolmes51 for his gutsy ride to be highest placed British rider overall equalling the best performance in the Tour from @MadisonGenesis

To everyone we’ve met at the races, the organisers...

...or followed our journey on social media.

Between the races, victories, losses and experiences, your support for the last seven years has meant the world to us and given us something we will never forget and will always hold in the fondest of memories.

...the brilliant volunteers - without which the sport wouldn’t exist - and the writers, photographers and videographers who have shared the stories of our team.

Finally, thank you to our fans. Whether you’ve cheered us on from a roadside or sofa, joined us for a ride...

Great ride by @MatthewHolmes51 today to grab those bonus seconds and finish 15th overall @TourofBritain 🙌

It wasn’t easy though!

🚨 WAHOO COMBATIVITY AWARD 🚨

Voting closes in 20 minutes' time or at the 15km to go mark!

[MadisonGenesis @MadisonGenesis]

Plenty of attacks on the way into Manchester as the peloton splits! @MatthewHolmes51 is caught by the lead group of 40 riders, but he tags on and is still in the mix 💪

[MadisonGenesis @MadisonGenesis]

Should he finish on the same time as the peloton today, that bumps Matt up into 17th on GC.

[Lloyds Tour of Britain @TourofBritain]

A useful three-second time bonus for Matt Holmes.

The @MadisonGenesis rider started the day just 01'30" behind overall leader Mathieu van der Poel.

[MadisonGenesis @MadisonGenesis]

He’s done it! Not content with 18th on GC, @MatthewHolmes51 is into the break on local roads. That will also make him the virtual leader on the road 😉

#OVOToB 🇬🇧 STAGE EIGHT | KM10 🚲

Matt Holmes (@MadisonGenesis) and @GabzCullaigh (@OfficialWIGGINS) have quickly gained a gap of 02'00" advantage over the peloton.

[MadisonGenesis @MadisonGenesis]

All ready for our final day racing @TourofBritain 👊

[MadisonGenesis @MadisonGenesis]

[MadisonGenesis @MadisonGenesis]

@bazer100 @TourofBritain @MatthewHolmes51 @ITV4 Always appreciate that extra energy and morale boost! 👊

[MadisonGenesis @MadisonGenesis]

The final stage! A very lumpy loop of Manchester on some heavy roads @TourofBritain - the only thing missing is the rain!

@MatthewHolmes51 starts the day in the top-20 and you can follow the race live @itv4 from 1045

[MadisonGenesis @MadisonGenesis]

Great riding by @MatthewHolmes51 on the final climb to elevate himself into the top-20 @TourofBritain and the best-placed British Conti rider

[MadisonGenesis @MadisonGenesis]

Great effort by @JonDibben1 to launch @MatthewHolmes51 clear of the peloton @TourofBritain - plenty more chances on these climbs to come!

[MadisonGenesis @MadisonGenesis]

Big move by @MatthewHolmes51 with 37km to go! He attacks and goes on the hunt for some extra time!

[MadisonGenesis @MadisonGenesis]

@HalMacyKnitting @TourofBritain @MatthewHolmes51 @ITV4 See you there!

[MadisonGenesis @MadisonGenesis]

The penultimate stage @TourofBritain and we're expecting more fireworks! Four climbs in the final 40km makes it another day for @MatthewHolmes51 - the team will be doing everything to keep him in contention!

Watch live @itv4 from 1045
