Yorkshire’s Tom Pidcock was denied a stage victory in his home county in a photo finish at the Tour of Britain.
The 23-year-old from Leeds was edged out by Gonzalo Serrano, who moved to the top of the general classification standings after four stages.
Serrano and Pidcock were joined by the Briton’s Ineos team-mate Omar Fraile and Dylan Teuns in a four-man breakaway for the final climb up Redgate Bank.
Serrano held on with previous leader Benjamin Perry seven seconds behind.
“There was a little bit more of a spur from me today, even though it’s not that close to my house,” said Pidcock.
“It was nice today, a load of proud Yorkshire folk with the flags flying, cheering me on. It’s still special for me – it’s where I’m from.”
