Fifteen days away from the road race in the Richmond World Championships, the Tour of Britain offered its participants a 227km 'test' from Fakenham to Ipswich, which Greipel (LTS) brought home by a nail on the eve of Sunday's big finish in London.
The Movistar Team had a prominent presence during stage seven, as Alex Dowsett was caught with only 15km to go following a three-man breakaway with Briggs (JLT) and Cullaigh (GBR). Juanjo Lobato took 12th into the mass sprint, while Rubén Fernández, one position behind, is now sixth overall after Dylan Teuns (BMC) crashed out in the finale.
"Thought that might've been a go-er today, shame but a nice day off the front, @Brigga14 and @GabzCullaigh were pulling really strong," Dowsett tweeted after the stage
