An uphill run in today means that there might be some drama at the finish, although Mohs, Crocket and Vaitkus are still favourites
De Bie goes clear on a solo break today.
Van loocke beats Uugunbayar to second.
At the second sprint, De Bie has been joined, and outsprinted by Andersen.
Uugunbayar again managing third.
De Bie gets his revenge at sprint 3.
In the peloton the chase is on, meaning Van der Vekde gets the points. 2'42" with 30km to go means the break might have a chance. Especially given the rolling terrain.
At 20km to go it's 1'37"
Cyclevox and Puma again get organised though, and with 12km to go we are back together.
Crosswinds with 7km to go, the lead group is down to 31. Nolf is the big name who has missed out.
The peloton is very disorganised as we start the drag up to the line.
3km to go now, Vaitkus, Mohs Blythe and Crocket are all well placed.
Vaitkus starts his sprint very early.
Mohs is straight on him, while Crocket and Blythe try to catch up.
Borrajo is also following as these 5 separate themselves from the field.
800m to go and Vaitkus is still in control, but Mohs will surely have the energy to come round.
Mohs makes a move
But it's not enough as Vaitkus leads for three km in a real hard man's sprint, and no one can catch him.
Crocket and Blythe have been having a drag race for third, for almost 3km as well, and Crocket just gets in front on the line. Borrajo gets 5th.
Minard then leads in a group of 7 20 seconds later, containing Alberts
And then Konte leads the rest of the bunch at +38"
Nolf crosses the line at 1'37", but who knows how much time he has lost as there are small gaps throghout the peloton.
In fact no time gaps were given at all, so the whole peloton is lucky. Vaitkus does manage to take the lead off Blythe with his bonus seconds for his second win of the race.
