The International Tour of the North riders today faced 105km on stage 3, including five laps of the Roguery circuit with a 15 per cent climb each lap.
While there was no let up in the action, it was on the last lap that the real damage was done; a four-man group getting away from yellow jersey Zeb Kyffin (Ribble Pro).
They went on to gain almost one minute, meaning the general classification was re-ordered ahead of Monday's final stage.
Today's stage 3 was won by James Jobber of the UK Team Uplift Velo squad after he attacked the breakaway with about 6km remaining.
