Lizzie Deignan takes Tour of Britain Women mountains jersey on stage 1

Racing as part of a strong British national team that brought together riders from four different Women’s WorldTeams, Lizzie Deignan finished fourth on stage 1 of the Tour of Britain Women – but Deignan still went onto the podium in Llandudno as she had taken the most mountain points and will wear the blue QOM jersey on stage 2 around Wrexham.

“It was totally made up in the moment. I was in a really good position over both climbs and thought ‘if I’m there, I might as well’,” said Deignan.
