Tour of Britain (United Kingdom) - Press Release: Rally Cycling’s Robin Carpenter turned the AJ Bell Tour of Britain on its head in Monday’s second stage by winning solo in Exeter and moving into the race lead after a day-long breakaway effort.
Carpenter dropped breakaway companion Jacob Scott (Canyon dhb SunGod) with 25 kilometres remaining to take the victory by 33 seconds over British duo Ethan Hayter (INEOS Grenadiers) and Alex Peters (Swift Carbon Pro Cycling).
Stage one winner Wout van Aert (Team Jumbo – Visma) came home safely within the same group and now sits 22 seconds behind Carpenter, who is the first American rider to both lead the AJ Bell Tour of Britain and to win a stage of the race.
