Im honoured that the London Grand Prix is associated with The Tour of Britains final stage. Its great to see The Tour of Britain taking place again and I hope it will inspire many young spectators to take up the sport," said Bob Chicken Snr, former owner of Chicken & Sons, the company which introduced many European road bike accessory brands into the UK from the 1950s onwards.
