Most lucrative race in women's cyclingpublished at 11:41 British Summer Time 30 April 2016
As well as the prestige of being crowned winner there's also a healthy win bonus for the first female rider to cross the line in Doncaster. In fact, the £15,000 first prize is the most lucrative in women's cycling.

When the bumper payout was announced Sir Gary Verity, chief executive of race organisers Welcome To Yorkshire said: "We're trying to seismically change the sport.
"If you won all three stages of the men's race and you took the general classification money as well, you would still be 40% worse off than the winner of the women's race. So that's a big difference."

According to Welcome to Yorkshire it is all down to the fact the race is owned by the Amaury Sports Organisation, a French company based in Paris.
A spokesman said: "It therefore has a French name and some of the key climbs have been given a French name as a nod to the French origins of the race."
