Kamiel Bonneu launched a late attack to win stage three of the Tour of Britain in Sunderland.
The Belgian, riding for Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise, was part of a four-man breakaway that took a three-and-a-half-minute lead over the peloton in the closing stages of the race.
Bonneu sprinted clear over the final kilometre of the 163.6km stage, which started in Durham.
Wiv SunGod’s Ben Perry was second ahead of Saint Piran’s Alexandar Richardson.
Israel Premier Tech’s New Zealand rider Corbin Strong finished 13th to retain the overall general classification lead, though is now only ahead of Canadian Perry on bonus points.
Britain’s Tom Pidcock, riding for Ineos Grenadiers and a pre-race favourite, was 19th.
