Sam Watson sprinted to third place on a soaking wet second stage at the Tour of Britain.
The British national champion hit out early inside the final kilometre in Stowmarket but would be overhauled at the line, with Olav Kooij (Visma | Lease a Bike) taking back to back stage victories.
Time bonuses saw Watson elevated to third place overall on a tricky day, which saw wind and rain pound the peloton.
The INEOS Grenadiers stuck together well but were unable to split the race apart on narrow, sheltered roads. Thymen Arensman was unlucky to be caught up in a crash with 2km to go, and was eventually able to finish without time loss thanks to the three-kilometre rule.
Once again the likes of Geraint Thomas, Ben Swift, AJ August and Lucas Hamilton got through a lot of work on the day, with August caught behind the crash late on after recovering from a puncture.
Watson sits 16 seconds back on Kooij, with the race set to move into slightly hillier terrain on Wednesday.
At the Vuelta a hilly day on the roads around Bilbao ended without a stage victor due to safety concerns on the run into the finish.
The results were instead taken at 3km to go, after a select group of riders had taken on the Alto de Pike. Egan Bernal was part of the group, which was stretched over the summit following an attack from Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling) and leader Jonas Vingegaard (Visma | Lease a Bike).
