Thousands of people lined the route through West?Devon of the Tour of Britain on Saturday.

Many camped out overnight, to claim their space trackside for the 'King of the Mountains' stage of the penultimate day of the tour, the highest climb of the whole race.

Dartmoor National Park, which organised an open top bus viewing point at Rundlestone near Princetown, said Saturday was the best advert for the moor it had ever had.

Devon rider Jon Tiernan-Locke (pictured above) started the day in the IG Markets Gold Jersey as the overall leader of the race.

Jon went on to win the tour, no doubt fuelled by the roars from the Devon crowds which he later said was 'amazing.'
