The final stage illustrated the all-round team performance that maintained Tulett and Sheffield's GC positions for the whole race.
Luke Plapp, Leo Hayter and Connor Swift were key in maintaining a strong position for the team in changing conditions, with crosswinds threatening to cause issues at one point.
However, the peloton slowly reeled in the early break, ahead of the finish circuit which saw more attacks from the bunch.
These were dealt with by Swift and an excellent turn from Josh Tarling, who kept a fierce pace onto the final climb which positioned Tulett and Sheffield so they could deal with any counter attacks and secure a memorable 1-2 finish for the team.
