Kirsten Wild saw off Britain’s double junior world road race champion Lucy Garner and Lizzie Armitstead to win the women’s Tour de Yorkshire on Saturday.
World champion Armitstead formed part of a three-rider breakaway, but the pack recovered late on for Dutch rider Wild, 33, to clinch a sprint finish.
Wiggle High5’s Garner, 21, was second – the first of five British riders in the top 10, with Floortje Mackaij third.
Stage two of the men’s race will follow on the same 136km route.
