Thousands of spectators lined the streets of Liverpool to watch some of the world's most famous cyclists as the Tour of Britain got under way. The city hosted the Grand Depart, which saw riders set off on a looped circuit around the city centre. Huge crowds gathered and cheered as the riders began eight laps from the waterfront out to Sefton Park and back. The race will go on to follow a further seven stages around the country. Riders taking part include household names Sir Bradley Wiggins and Isle of Man-born Mark Cavendish - who chose to compete despite still recovering from his Tour de France-ending crash in Harrogate. MTN Qhubeka (UCI Team Code: MTN) is a Professional Continental cycling team based in South Africa that participates in UCI Continental Circuits races, and WorldTour races when invited as a wild card entry. The team was founded in 2007, becoming a Continental Team in 2008. The team remained as a UCI Continental Team until the end of the 2012 season, with the team registering its interest for a Professional Continental licence for 2013. In November 2012, the team were registered as a Professional Continental team – Africa's first – by the Union Cycliste Internationale, for the 2013 season. The team received their first Grand Tour wildcard for the 2014 Vuelta a Espana. In July 2014, the team announced that for the 2015 season they would be using Cervélo bikes with Brian Smith being appointed interim general manager.
