Sir Bradley Wiggins added the Tour of Britain title to his collection after sealing an emphatic victory in London.
Wiggins, who won the Tour de France and Olympic time trial last year, had led since winning the third stage and began stage eight with a 26-second advantage.
British road race champion Mark Cavendish won the concluding stage, his third stage win in this year's race.
But Wiggins, 33, negotiated the 10-lap 88km course along the Thames to retain his place at the top of the standings.
Following a remarkable 2012 in which he was also knighted and voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year, the Briton has been blighted by fitness problems this year.
He had to pull out of the Giro d'Italiabecause of a chest infection and was unable to defend his Tour de France crownbecause of illness and injury.
