One Pro Cycling had gone into the final round with a slim lead over arch rivals Madison Genesis, but a crash for key One Pro Cycling rider Yanto Barker meant that they lost out on the 2015 title.
However, a successful late attack by One Pro Cycling's Marcin Bialoblocki meant that the squad did leave the picturesque Georgian city with the round victory, Bialoblocki's second of the series.

Tobyn Horton (Madison Genesis) out-sprinted Kristian House (JLT Condor) for second place on the tough circuit that included a section of cobbles outside the iconic Royal Crescent.
Earlier in the evening, Dani King (Wiggle Honda) had secured a solo victory in the finale round of the 2015 women's Matrix Fitness Grand Prix. Nikki Juniper (Giordana Triton) won the series overall, but not after a mishap on the closing laps in Bath as she punctured and had to furiously chase back on.
Pearl Izumi Sports Tours International took the overall team prize for the Matrix Fitness Grand Prix.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
