The final stage of the ToB will not be the same as previous years but
will be closer to the TdF style, ride into London (alogn the 2007 TdF
stage 1 route) with a finishing circuit in St James Park.

See http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?...ay06/may16news

Which says:

Tour of Britain 2006 stages

Stage 1 – August 29: Scotland, Glasgow to Castle Douglas
Stage 2 – August 30: Northwest, Blackpool to Liverpool
Stage 3 – August 31: Yorkshire, (final route to be confirmed)
Stage 4 – September 1: West Midlands, (final route to be confirmed)
Stage 5 – September 2: Southeast, Rochester to Canterbury
Stage 6 – September 3: London, Greenwich to The Mall

So it looks like stage 5 is using the TdF stage 1 route and the TdB
stage 6 part of the Olympic RR route combined with the TdF prologue.
