Alexander Kamp (Riwal Readynez) won the sprint finish from a reduced bunch on stage three of the Tour de Yorkshire 2019, as Chris Lawless (Team Ineos) took the lead in the overall classification.

The Dane beat Lawless on the line, with the Brit the banging his handlebars in frustration after being led out by Team Ineos, who controlled the race over the final section to set things up for the Lancastrian to take the win in Yorkshire. Olympic champion Greg Van Avermaet (CCC) finished in third place.

Hi. I'm Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor. I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.


Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).


I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
