Zoe Backstedt (Storey Racing) and Finlay Pickering (Vive le Velo) maintained their overnight leads to become the overall winners of the Isle of Man Youth Tour.
Backstedt made it a hat-trick of wins by taking the third and final stage to add to convincing victories in the prologue and stage two in the British Cycling Youth Circuit Series.
Pickering, meanwhile, made the most of his earlier success to take home a comfortable victory in the general classification.
There were also victories for Awen Roberts and Jed Smith in the Youth B categories as the three-day event came to its conclusion.
On-form Backstedt hits the front early
As she did on stage two, Backstedt attacked from the start on stage three and rode solo to the finish in the 34km race featuring five laps around the Billown circuit.
She won the stage by six minutes and 30 seconds to take her overall general classification lead beyond 11 minutes to truly show her dominance on the Isle of Man.
Anoushka Minale (LVCL) was second on the final stage, two seconds ahead of third placed Imani Pereira-James (East Kilbride Road Club). Flora Perkins (LVCL) was second on GC, and Pereira-James third.
In form, dominant and near impossible to stop @Backstedt_Zoe once again delivered the goods to bag a triumphant win at the Isle of Man Youth Tour
