The Tour of Britain organisers have released the final start list for the race, following some late changes to several team line-ups

The 16 teams in the race are a mixture of ProTour, Continental Professional and Continental giving plenty of interest to fans following the race as the British talent pit themselves against some very well known international riders.
Last year's winner Romain Feillu (Agritubel) wears number one. Each squad is made up of six riders, bringing the total of participants to 96.
