Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma – Quick Step) po sprinterskim pojedynku wygrał przedostatni etap Tour of Britain. Liderem pozostał Bradley Wiggins (Sky Team).
Siódmego dnia ścigania w Wielkiej Brytanii, kolarze musieli pokonać 150,4 kilometrowy odcinek z Epsom do Guildford. Podobnie jak na wcześniejszych etapach, przez dłuższy czas na czele utrzymywała się kilkuosobowa czołówka. Skasowała ją jednak koalicja ekip Omega Pharma – Quick Step, Cannondale oraz Sky Team.
O wszystkim po raz kolejny zadecydował więc sprinterski pojedynek. Wygrał go po raz drugi w tegorocznej edycji – Mark Cavendish. Drugi finiszował Elia Viviani (Cannondale), a trzeci Gerald Ciolek (MTN-Qhubeka). Na jedenastym miejscu finiszował Marcin Białobłocki (UK Youth).
Michał Gołaś (Omega Pharma – Quick Step) w generalce wciąż jest ósmy, a Białobłocki osiemnasty.
