CEES Bol snatched victory on stage two of the Tour of Britain by the tightest of margins in Duns.
The Dutchman came out on top in a chaotic sprint finish, beating Jake Stewart into second place with Corbin Strong in third.
Bol’s Team DSM team-mates had reeled in an attack by Bora Hansgrohe’s Nils Politt and massed at the front of the pack in a bid to control the finish.
