Crowds and bunting lined the route, local choirs sang and then there were the daleks...
After leaving Beverley, the race took the riders to Market Weighton, Bubwith, Tadcaster and Wetherby.

Our favourite though has to be this effort from Hallie in Cherry Burton - a true Yorkshire bicycle!
Just 26k from the finish line, Bradley Wiggins pulled out.

Image source, Tour de YorkshireAfter an incredible show of strength and endurance the winner of today's stage was the German rider Dylan Groenewegen from the Lotto NL Jumbo Team.
He completed the distance of 186 km in 5 hours 9 minutes and 11 seconds.
Just two more stages and 334 km to go then!

Tomorrow, the women's Tour de Yorkshire departs tomorrow from her hometown of Otley in Yorkshire.
The 27-year-old said: "It's fantastic to have the opportunity to race at home so I wouldn't miss it."
Quote Message"I never expected to compete at home in a UCI women's race - let alone as world champion. It's my first race in the UK in the rainbow jersey and it'll be wonderful."
