The first in a series of feature articles this month on how British cycling builds on last year's incredible success. In this piece, we look at the 2012 Tour of Britain with race director, Mick Bennett.

As long as any winner shows the tenacity and guts that JTL showed in 2012 the public will get behind the winner British or not, but undoubtedly it would help the cause.
