The fourth edition of The OVO Energy Women’s Tour has been exciting. One of the biggest events on the UCI Women’s WorldTour circuit, the five-day stage race sees the top pro-teams in the world battle for victory along crowd-lined streets.

The final stage of the 2017 edition takes place on the streets of central London, with the riders completing 14 laps of a 6.2km circuit that takes them past notable landmarks such as Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus and Regent Street.

As with other stages of this popular event, the crowds turned up in force to cheer on the riders. Check out a few of the bikes we spotted in the team pits above, including what looks like the same unannounced S-Works Tarmac from Specialized we spotted at the Criterium du Dauphiné.
