Former UCI president Pat McQuaid was back to work at the Tour of Britain, as part of the Trinity Racing backroom staff. 

The Irishman, who served as the head of the sport’s governing body between 2005 and 2013 before losing a highly charged and controversial presidential election to Brian Cookson, is at the Tour of Britain driving the camper van for his son Andrew McQuaid, who owns and runs Trinity Racing.
