There was late drama on the final stage as Marcel Kittel pipped Mark Cavendish and Nicola Ruffoni to the line in central London.

Overall victory went to Dylan Van Baarle (Garmin-Sharp) who finished 10 seconds ahead of Kwiatkowski in the GC with 2012 Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins in third.

Ireland’s Nicolas Roche was fifth overall.
