The first proper sprint today, potentially, Santos and De Fauw will be trying to stop Impey getting South Africa's first stage win
Bennet, Durbridge and Martynenko form todays break
Durbridge wins the first sprint, Martynenko is second
Martynenko gets the second sprint, Durbridge is second this time
with 26km to go tthe break have 1'48"
There is a mass crash and almost the whole peleton is caught up
Only 11 riders make it, and Bellis is the last one. Dowsett, Kirchen and Rabon are the only others from the top 10
Cerne are keeping up the pressure for Santos
10km to go and the break are pulled back
A group of 15 catches the peleton, however it doesn't contain any Red Bull riders, Monfort, Augustyn and Bol are in it though
Le Gac tries to attack
he gets 16 seconds when Gauer attacks
Vink follows with 5km to go
Export have taken over the peleton, they have no interest in chasing back Vink, and this slow down has helped Red Bull as well
Although their chase group is at 2'13"
3km to go and Export do pull back the attackers Impey, Santos and Bellis are way back
The sprint starts from the back of the group
Santos gets through the front, while Bellis and Impey are held up by slower riders blocking the whole road
So Santos takes a comfortable victory
Monfort beats Bellis to second, to make sure of his jump to second place. Baez and Bar are next.
Vorganov leads in the chase group, this race has gone so wrong for Red Bull
So Bellis gets the overal, Monfort is second. Red Bull are lucky to have Mori get 3rd despite the fall. Red Bull have messed up almost every stage, yet still have a massive points haul. This has been an excelent race, see you all in Switzerland.
