Cervelo-Bigla Pro Cycling Team's Lotta Lepisto has taken out the first ever Welsh stage of the OVO Energy Women's Cycling tour.

The event concluded in front of a large crowd on the Colwyn Bay Promenade by Port Eirias this afternoon with Lepisto leading home Giorgia Bronzini (Cylance Pro Cycling) and Marianne Vos (Waowdeals Pro Cycling Team).

The Dolgelleau to Colwyn Bay stage marked the climax of the 2018 tour and saw American rider Coryn Rivera crowed this year's champion.

Vos was second overall with British cyclist Danielle Rowe (Waowdeals Pro Cycling Team) coming in third.

Vos capped off a solid 2018 tour winning the points classification, Italian rider Elisa Longo Borghini (Wiggle High5) took out the Queen of the Mountain category, while Rivera also won the sprint classification.
