IT SEEMED like a good idea at the time. That was Leeds-based rider Tobyn Horton's reaction after a long day in the saddle on the opening stage of the Tour de Yorkshire.

Horton – who rides for Madison Genesis – was part of an eight-man breakaway which formed early in the 174km stage from Bridlington to Scarborough.

After giving his all on the front of the race, he was eventually overhauled late on and rolled in an exhausted last. He was initially listed on the official results as “did not finish”, but later placed 132nd on the overall classification, 17 minutes 50 seconds behind leader Dylan Groenewegen.
