Through the wins, losses, crashes, bashes, laughs, tears, beers, high fives and long drives it has been an incredible journey. Thank you to everyone that made the dream a reality. Enjoy this short video looking back on our adventure.

A great way for @MadisonGenesis to bow out from the @OVOEnergy Tour of Britain 💪

1/3
On an emotional final day, we just want to say thank you.
To everyone who has been involved with Madison Genesis - the sponsors, riders, managers, soigneurs, helpers and mechanics who have played their part.
To everyone we’ve met at the races, the organisers...
2/3
...the brilliant volunteers - without which the sport wouldn’t exist - and the writers, photographers and videographers who have shared the stories of our team.
Finally, thank you to our fans. Whether you’ve cheered us on from a roadside or sofa, joined us for a ride...
Great ride by @MatthewHolmes51 today to grab those bonus seconds and finish 15th overall @TourofBritain 🙌
It wasn’t easy though!

212 votes • Final resultsPlenty of attacks on the way into Manchester as the peloton splits! @MatthewHolmes51 is caught by the lead group of 40 riders, but he tags on and is still in the mix 💪
Should he finish on the same time as the peloton today, that bumps Matt up into 17th on GC.
A useful three-second time bonus for Matt Holmes.
The @MadisonGenesis rider started the day just 01'30" behind overall leader Mathieu van der Poel.
He’s done it! Not content with 18th on GC, @MatthewHolmes51 is into the break on local roads. That will also make him the virtual leader on the road 😉
#OVOToB 🇬🇧 STAGE EIGHT | KM10 🚲
Matt Holmes (@MadisonGenesis) and @GabzCullaigh (@OfficialWIGGINS) have quickly gained a gap of 02'00" advantage over the peloton.
Race location: direction Bramhall.
All ready for our final day racing @TourofBritain 👊
Here we go @TourofBritain! The fans are ready, the cars are ready and the bikes are ready - let’s do this.
The final stage! A very lumpy loop of Manchester on some heavy roads @TourofBritain - the only thing missing is the rain!
@MatthewHolmes51 starts the day in the top-20 and you can follow the race live @itv4 from 1045
Great riding by @MatthewHolmes51 on the final climb to elevate himself into the top-20 @TourofBritain and the best-placed British Conti rider
Great effort by @JonDibben1 to launch @MatthewHolmes51 clear of the peloton @TourofBritain - plenty more chances on these climbs to come!
Big move by @MatthewHolmes51 with 37km to go! He attacks and goes on the hunt for some extra time!
A short-lived move for @JonDibben1 as the break is taken back by the peloton and the speed remains very high.
Great to see @JonDibben1 getting up the road! 🙌
Our three leaders have now been joined now by British rider @JonDibben1 (@MadisonGenesis).
Relaxed ahead of the stage seven start @TourofBritain - but not so relaxed now! Full gas start to the penultimate day of racing - watch it all live @ITV4

The penultimate stage @TourofBritain and we're expecting more fireworks! Four climbs in the final 40km makes it another day for @MatthewHolmes51 - the team will be doing everything to keep him in contention!
