Another flat rated stage. It's not very flat as it two uphills being one of them long and difficult. With this said, Bazajev is the main favourite. But stages like this are always unpredictable.
The first intermediate sprint is won by Bazajev. Haddou and Kavsek are second and third.
With 100km to go, the break is formed. Montaño, Reza, Gabrovski, Roux and Gallego Martin are the elements.
Montaño and Roux (first and second, respectively in the mountain sprint) drop the rest of the group. Gabrovski is third.
Roux takes the sprint in front of Montaño. Reza is third.
Montaño, once again, is the first in the mountain sprint. Gabrovski takes the third place.
The situation with 60km to go:
E1
E2 - + 1'09''
P - + 5'23
The pack isn't coordinate and that's why, with 40km to the end, the front duo has almost 5 minutes on the pack.
The last sprint is also uncontested and Montaño takes it in front of the French. Gallego Martin takes the rest of the points.
Roux drops Montaño. The gap to the peloton is 3'28''.
With 15km to go, 2'41''.
Roux will take the win. With 8km to go, Montaño is at 1'11'' and the pack is at 2'32''. The in between trio will get caught.
With 5km to go, it's sprint preparation. They will battle for 2rd as Montaño will soon be caught soon. The sprinter who has the advantage is Aguilar who is following Sibilla. Neves is also there.
At 3km to go, Speirs has a small advantage over the train which includes Aguilar, Neves and Schumacher.
Roux takes the win! Amazing effort by the French.
At the entry of the last kilometer, Aguilar holds a small advantage over Neves and Moreno.
But it's Schumacher that comes from behind and steels the second place from Aguilar. That's 1-2 for Wii Racing!
