AS Bradley Wiggins celebrates becoming the first British winner of the Tour de France, records are also set to be broken in September's Tour of Britain with more British teams taking part than ever before.

Tour organisers Sweetspot Group have revealed that Team Sky will be joined by six other British teams. They are Endura Racing, Team IG–Sigma Sport, Rapha Condor, Team Raleigh–GAC, Node4–Giordana Racing, and Team UK Youth.

It will be a debut Tour of Britain for Team UK Youth, who recently helped launch the Devon Stage of The Tour. The team includes 1998 Tour de France stage winner Magnus Backstedt and Yanto Barker, from Totnes, who was the top British finisher in the Tour of Britain in 2005.

Devon County Council will host stage seven of The Tour of Britain, which will be the penultimate stage of the race, on Saturday, September 15. This year's Devon stage will cover 106 miles (170.7km) of the county, starting in Barnstaple and heading through Dartmoor National Park - including going through Merrivale, near Princetown, on its way to finishing in Dartmouth.

Last year was the first time an entire stage of The Tour had been held in Devon, having previously shared stages with Somerset since 2008. More than 125,000 spectators watched the race from Exeter to Exmouth, via Dartmoor, bringing more than £3 million into the county's economy on the day.

Councillor Stuart Hughes, Devon County Council Cabinet Member for Highways and Transportation, said: 'It has been an incredible achievement by Bradley Wiggins to win the Yellow Jersey at the Tour de France and for Britain to have had its most successful Tour ever with Chris Froome finishing second and winning a stage, and Mark Cavendish and David Millar winning stages as well. This is a great opportunity for our country to really embrace cycling and to get more people on their bikes.

"It's encouraging to see that British teams will be so well represented at The Tour of Britain too, particularly in this Olympic year. Hopefully there'll be more cycling success to come in London and that we will also see a few Olympic medallists and some of our Tour de France heroes racing in Devon come September. The Tour of Britain is a chance for dozens of our communities to share in this incredible spectacle, and for our local economy to receive a welcome boost. As the race takes in so much of the county it's a chance to showcase Devon to a worldwide audience."

The Grand Depart of The Tour of Britain 2012 will take place in Ipswich on Sunday 9 September, with the final stage in Guildford on Sunday 16 September.
