Tour de Yorkshire: Stage Two

Here's today's winner.

And yesterday's stage winner who remains in the lead after today's performance.

Danny Van Poppel from Team Sky claims the win.

One kilometre left.

The moves are starting.

And they're still packed together.

This is going to be close.

There's less than 5,000m left of Stage Two and the sprinters are getting in position as they approach the finish line.

They were brought back in just outside Bessacarr.

I'm here at the finish in Doncaster and there's a great atmosphere.

People are getting ready to see the riders and cheer them over the line.

There's less than 15km to go and just 10 seconds between the leaders and the chasing pack - it's going to be another sprint finish.

There's an estimated 3,000 people on the streets of Tickhill waiting to cheer on the riders as they enter the final 25km.

It'll be One Pro Cycling's Rich Handley in the pink King of the Mountain Jersey tomorrow after completing a clean sweep of the categorised climbs.

The riders are less than 40km from the finish line and the gap between the leaders and the chasing pack is roughly 90 seconds.

It's a similar situation to the women's race and that ended in a thrilling sprint finish - get ready Doncaster.

Cycling fans have taken to social media to vent their frustration after technical problems led to an almost complete lack of TV coverage of the Tour de Yorkshire.

Problems with the plane, which relays pictures back from the motorcycle and helicopter cameras, meant ITV4 were unable to broadcast either the women's or men's race in full. 

Presenter Gary Imlach said the broadcaster had "finally given up hope" at about 4.30pm.

Tanya Arnold and Mark Ansell are currently in Doncaster.

They're using Facebook to speak to you live on video.

You can catch up with them here.

Edet Nicolas has now joined in with the leading group.

It may be called the Tour de Yorkshire but the riders will be making a brief foray into Nottinghamshire later to pay tribute to Tommy Simpson in his adopted hometown of Harworth.

Simpson was the first British cyclist to wear the famous yellow jersey in the Tour de France.

But, his promising career came to an end in 1967 when, aged just 29, he collapsed through exhaustion climbing up the notorious Mont Ventoux on the edge of the Alps, during the 13th stage of the Tour.

Presenters on ITV 4 have explained the technical problems after the feed of the race stopped again.

They said the live pictures were supplied by the race organiser, ASO, and they had serious issues.

Presenter Gary Imlach said they would try to overcome the technical troubles or would be forced to "call it a day."

Dame Sarah Storey has paid tribute to the spectators who turned out for the women's Tour de Yorkshire.

The paralympic champion, who kick-started her season in today's race, tweeted: "Thanks @letouryorkshire what amazing crowds. Eventful race for me with an early mechanical, chasing on, working for the team & blowing up!"
