IRISH CYCLIST MATT BRAMMEIER earned himself 73 litres of Stene Molen beer at the Tour of Flanders in Belgium today.

The Liverpool-born 29-year-old, who cycles with South African team MTN-Qhubeka, was first in a sprint to the village of Sint-Eloois-Winkel meaning he wins his weight in alcohol.

Five-time national champion Brammeier had been alerted to the unusual prize by former cyclist Daniel Lloyd through Twitter:

He is probably going to need a hand to get through all that aleโ€ฆ
