Next stage in Colombia and another chance for the sprinters. After some hills but mainly downhill in the first half it finishes completely flat afterwards.
With a length of 244,5km it`s a very long stage in especially that late in a race.
Early mountain sprint and for some reason Nathan Haas wants it.
A big group is ahead of the peloton already making it a big breakaway.
Haas
Sokolov
Van Zandbeek
Cummings
Sestili
Zoigl
Terpstra
Roth
Kreder
Malori
Sagan
Hernandez Gutierrez
Pichon
Redondo
Next KoM and again Haas with Pichon and Kreder following.
Wikipedia (Goos), Milka (Forero) and UBS (Amador) doing the pace but it`s up to 7min with 145km to go.
Bad crash for Van Staeyen. Bad news for the team as the sprinter is one of the top favourites for this stage. That said in case the breakaway is being caught.
110km left and Wikipedia higheres the pace which reduces the gap.
Van Staeyen btw. is back as he got great support by 5 team mates.
11km left and the breakaway us caught. Only Jungels is still ahead but not successful as he is caught 4km later as well.
Weird sprint preparations. Just one long train with Howard leading out Forero.
Behind them a Red Bull train of Facci, Jelloul and Van Staeyen. Next to them Degenkolb.
At the end of the train also well placed Reynes, Van Impe, Goss, Tollesson, Haedo.
Jelloul is moving to the right with Van Staeyen behind him.
Forero with Degenkolb behind still a bit ahead.
1,4km and Forero was already a bit in the wind with Degenkolb going around now. But also the German struggled with finding the right wheel in the beginning which surely did cost energy.
Van Staeyen meanwhile still behind Jelloul, but don`t forget his crash earlier. So not the most ideal situation for all of them.
1km and Forero really struggles now while Van Staeyen and Degenkolb have a nice gap.
From behind Goss is finally coming while Van den Broeck also starts a strong sprint.
Degenkolb struggles now with Goss going into 2nd. Van den Broeck still going strong! What`s wrong with that guy?
Goss came close. But Van Staeyen wins it. What a comeback after the crash. Good news for Red Bull as he is not injured at all it seems.
Goss should have been placed better, then a win could have been very possible.
Van Impe with a strong 3rd. Not Degenkolb for Pokerstars! Tollesson as 4th ahead of Van den Broeck, who keeps the lead.
Dan Martin as 6th with De La Fuente following shows that the recovery played a role today.
