The final stage, It's pretty much flat, and Lobato has secured the KoM jersey already. Impey has a chance of stealing the points jersey from Hushovd, but would need another big win, which would also jump him a couple of places up the overall table. It's prety much down to the stage win though, and kennaugh, Napolitano and Ciolek are favourites there,
Off we go
A break of seven quickly forms Sambris, Maaskant, Lobato, Cherel, Wilman, Hoogerland and Retschke
Sambris takes the final sprint of the tour, Maaskant and Hoogerland are next, with 80km to race, the gap is just over 6 minutes
Hoogerland attacks rather unnesseceily for mountain points, Lobato covers him, with Maaskant getting third
Lobato confirms his jersey in style, Maaskant and Hoogerland are next, Maaskant's attacks earn him three CT points, his manager will be so proud. The break now has 1'50" with 27km left to race
With 10km to go Pendelton's are working hard and the break is all but done
2 chains on the right of the road, 100% Me with Hushovd on Kennaugh's wheel. Next to them are Lego, with Ciolek followed by Napolitano, Impey, Bozic and Dumoulin. Quicksilver and Vespa are trying something on the other side of the road
Rabon seems strongest of the lead out me, however Bozic and Dumoulin have swapped to Hushovds wheel. Chicchi has moved up well on the left. All the sprinters are right at the front for this
Rabon pulls further forward, so Kennaugh moves onto Impey's back wheel. Ciolek has been no where this tour. Today can he repay his teams support?
Ciolek goes as soon as the sprint starts, Gavazzi is in the lead on the left, Impey is holding most of the sprinters back
Ciolek and Napolitano are in the lead, they are side by side with 2km to go. This is going to be a long one
A kilometre later and it's still neck and neck, their legs are burning now, who can push through to the finish?
700m and Napolitano is just in front, Ciolek needs to dig deep
He can't quite do it and Napolitano takes victory, Ciolek second
D'Amore gets third, just in front of Impey, who would have jumped two places had he got third. Chicchi is 5th
