    There's been some superb land art along the route of Stage One today.

    In Scarborough, today's finish line, there's a humongous yellow and blue Tour de Yorkshire jersey.

    Whilst near Flamingo Land, the official artist for the event Lucy Pittaway created this pink spectacle:

    We're hoping for a bit of a chase at the end of this stage, if they have any legs left after the Cote de Robin Hood's Bay.

    It's mostly flat or downhill, so could provide an interesting finish in Scarborough.

    Less than 40km to go...
