The chasers
The 3rd stage of the Tour of Britain cycle race came through Alnwick today (Monday) en route from Berwick-on-Tweed to Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
The main bunch (peloton) were chasing a group of 6 riders who had broken away and established a lead of over 3 minutes (see immediately previous upload flic.kr/p/2hdbrXL )
They would be successful in their chase, catching the breakaway with about 1km of the race left.
The overall race leader Matteo Trentin is seen in the green leader's jersey on the right of the shot with the eventual stage winner Dylan Groenewegen just to his left. Both have energy bars in their mouths. The race had just passed through the feeding station, so a number of riders can be seen with a bar between their teeth or a food bag (a musette) over their shoulders whilst they transferred its contents to the pockets in the back of their jersey.
