(Reuters) - Dutchman Wout Poels timed his late attack to perfection to win the sixth stage of the Tour of Britain on Friday, while Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe took the overall lead with a second-placed finish.

Team Sky's Poels proved too strong on the summit finish of Whinlatter Pass as he sprinted past Alaphilippe and Hugh Carthy (EF Education First–Drapac) to the finish line.
