The 2012 Tour of Beijing was the second running of the Tour of Beijing stage race. It started on 9 October at Tiananmen Square and ended on 13 October in Beijing's Pinggu District after five stages. It was the 28th and final race of the 2012 UCI World Tour season.
The race was won for the second successive year by German rider Tony Martin, riding for the Omega Pharma–Quick-Step team.[2] Martin won the second stage of the race with a solo attack 25 km (15.5 mi) from the end of the stage, and ultimately won the stage by 46 seconds from his nearest competitor. He held the overall lead of the race until its conclusion, eventually winning the race by 40 seconds from Astana rider Francesco Gavazzi,[3] who won the race's queen stage on the third day. Team Sky's Edvald Boasson Hagen completed the podium, 6 seconds behind Gavazzi and 46 down on Martin, and also won the points classification for the most consistent finisher on the stages over the race.[4]
In the race's other classifications, fourth-placed overall Dan Martin (Garmin–Sharp) won the mountains classification,[3] seventh-placed overall Rafał Majka was the winner of the young rider classification for Saxo Bank–Tinkoff Bank,[5] and Liquigas–Cannondale were the victors in the teams classification.
