Groenewegen won out in a tough sprint finish that was made harder as the race ended with an uphill climb, with the Jumbo-Visma rider pushed hard by fellow Dutchman Mathieu van der Poel.

The race was briefly neutralised at around 120km after half of the peloton were caught at a level crossing.

The peloton and the breakaway were stopped, although the escapees were then allowed to ride on until they had regained their three-minute gap.

Tuesday's 171.5km stage promises plenty of climbing as the race crosses the Pennines and ends in the Lake District.

This was the third bunched sprint finish in as many stages for the tour, and yesterday's sprint victor Trentin retained the lead overall.
