What a fabulous three days of racing, ringing and bunting. Well done Thomas Voeckler, winning the race, and well done to the bellringers of Yorkshire who delivered again.

The 2016 Tour de Yorkshire comes to a grand conclusion by the sea with the Stage 3 finish in Scarborough. The resort also played host to a 2015 stage finish and to the Y15 Yorkshire Tourism Event. Here’s 4 photos of bike action in Scarborough from my visit to Y15 and to the beautiful hilltop church. For the afficionados of the Spring Classics or of the Ronde Van Calderen in Calderdale there’s some cobbles on the climb up to the church!
