Australian champion Ruby Roseman-Gannon has been gifted her first WorldTour triumph, winning the final stage of the Tour of Britain after a rival threw away the chance of victory by celebrating too early in a bizarre finish.
Roseman-Gannon, the 25-year-old Melbourne star who took both the Criterium and road race titles at the national championships, just couldn't believe it when Luxembourg's Christine Majerus sat up just before the line at the race finish in Leigh, raising her arm in triumph believing she had won.
