  8. The way it finishedpublished at 17:00 British Summer Time 1 May 2016

    So, let's recap the finish of the Tour de Yorkshire 2016, Frenchman Thomas Voeckler clinched overall victory by winning the third and final stage at Scarborough.

    The Direct Energie rider took advantage of a lapse in concentration from Team Sky's Nicolas Roche to beat the Irishman in a sprint finish.

    Roche was also second in the overall standings, six seconds behind Voeckler. 

    Bury's Adam Yates (Orica) was Britain's highest finisher, as he was third in the stage and fourth overall.
