Three-time track world champion Morgan Kneisky has presented officers from Cleveland Police with his Team Raleigh jersey to thank them for finding his mobile phone, which he lost before the start of yesterday's third and final stage from Middlesbrough to Scarborough. The jersey has been given to one of the officers' nephews, who is learning to ride a bike again after recently losing the sight in one eye.
Officers found the phone in Middlesbrough's Centre Square. Answering an incoming call, PCSO Mark Ballinger and PC Chris Swales were surprised to learn it belonged to one of the riders setting out on the stage.
PCSO Ballinger told Gazzettelive.co.uk: “I came across the phone and when PC Swales answered the call and we realised who it belonged to, it was a shock to us both.
“Morgan was very grateful to us for returning his phone and he presented us with his jersey as a token of thanks.
“I was really surprised by it, he didn’t need to do that. We were just doing our jobs, but it was very kind of him and the jersey will make a great gift for my nephew who is a big cycling fan.”
PCSO Ballinger tweeted a of he and PC Swales with the jersey.
In a subsequent tweet, he revealed his nephew is now learning to ride a bike again after losing the sight in one eye in an accident.
Kneisky, aged 28, joined Team Raleigh in 2014. He was world champion in the scratch race in 2009 and in the Madison in 2013 and 2015, partnered respectively by Vivien Brisse and Bryan Coquard.

Jump off the bike and run across. I cycle in trainers though.
Cheers for the lesson! Wasn't expecting one so was pleasantly surprised, especially getting to find the origin of "laconic"!
Isn't it a rights issue?
If anything, it looks a bit like an SL6
