T&A Sports Reporter Nathan Atkinson spoke to Otley's Lizzie Deignan about her new studio role, as she took up punditry duty for the 2018 Tour de Yorkshire.

Sharing her thoughts at the end of the Barnsley-Ilkley stage, she talked about how it gave her an interesting viewpoint this year, allowing her to see just how much the route took out of certain riders.

She also discussed how she would have loved to have been in the saddle herself, being supported by the fantastic home crowds.

Deignan could not hide her delight as she spoke of her excitement about giving birth later in the year, and seeing what challenges that brings, in both her personal and professional life.
