This year's Tour of Britain Women has seen 29 racers from around the UK line up to race on home roads, and there have been a few standout performers during the week. One of the season's breakthrough stars, queen of the mountains Lauren Dickson, is one of them. Josie Nelson is another.
24-year-old Midlander Nelson is tackling the race for a third time and heads into Sunday's closing stage in Leamington Spa in the top 10 on GC, the home nation's best performer.
