Madison Genesis wins 2015 Tour Series after Bath finale (photos)

Madison Genesis was crowned overall team winner of the 2015 Pearl Izumi Tour Series after the final round in Bath on Thursday evening.

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.

Television highlights from the final round of the Pearl Izumi Tour Series in Bath will be shown on ITV4 at 8pm on Friday June 12 with a repeat on the same channel at 11.40am on Saturday June 13.
