Wild wins women"s Tour de Yorkshire

Kirsten Wild finished sixth in the omnium at the London 2012 Olympics

Kirsten Wild saw off a group including Britain’s Lizzie Armitstead to win the women’s Tour de Yorkshire on Saturday.

World champion Armitstead formed part of a three-rider breakaway, but the pack recovered late on for Dutch rider Wild, 33, to clinch a sprint finish.

Wiggle High5’s 21-year-old rider Lucy Garner was second, and the first home of five British riders in the top 10, with Floortje Mackaij finishing third.

Stage two of the men’s race will follow on the same 136km route.

Wild will collect £15,000 for winning the one-day women’s race – more than the winner of the men’s race and £14,000 more than 2015 champion Louise Mahe.
