Yves Lampaert finished off a tactical masterclass to deliver stage victory on day seven of the Tour of Britain 2021.

The Belgian Classics specialist  (Deceuninck - Quick-Step) helped kick-start the early six-rider breakaway, then forced the decisive move inside the final 10km, patiently waiting until the final 100m to launch his sprint, beating Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar) and Mathew Gibson (Ribble-Weldtite) to glory.
