The very last stage of this year’s race is a short circuit race. There are 6 laps of a 10.5km long circuit with the only difficulty being a 1.7km long climb which averages a mere 3% and maxes out around 5%. The only other challenge will be the rainy weather, though there is presently no wind. The big question today is can Davis secure enough bonus time to move on to the overall podium? He currently sits in 9th place. A win will put him in 3rd, a second place today will put him in 7th and a third place will move him up 1 to 8th.
The action today is started off by Nechita.
Kairelis goes with him. Both of these riders have been in breaks previously in this race and are clearly feeling good. These two get a small gap and then there is a group of three who look to bridge up:
Bonnet
Kwok
Shikai
Bonnet is clearly feeling much better after his crash and will be looking to make up for his disappointing time trial result yesterday.
Finally another group of four bridges up and creates our break of the day:
Matthews
Ariesen
Opie
Pineau
There are some decent sprinters in this group such as Bonnet and Matthews, so if it comes down to the break deciding it amongst themselves it could be a good contest. Their gap is out to 1’37” as the second of six laps starts and it starts to grow.
As the third lap starts the lead is 2’39” and already things are looking quite good for the front of the group. Hollister and Rapha are on the case, however. Both of them have favourites for today’s stage.
The gap goes out to over 3 minutes but once it gets to the hill Dowsett powers along at the front and cuts down 30” in one kilometre. This means that as the fourth lap starts the gap is at 2’01” with 31.5km remaining. Ferrari have started to contribute to the pace setting.
The gap starts to crumble and coming over the top of the hill before the lap finishes the gap is down to 24”. Sensing an opportunity Geslin puts in an attack.
He easily overtakes the break, which is swallowed up by the peloton. As the second last lap starts he has a 26” gap over the front of the pack. As a cobblestone rider he will be used to having to make long, hard efforts. The pack behind him is huge though, with Rapha, Hollister and Ferrari all having multiple riders forward.
And it is Agostini who makes the catch on the hill. The wind has started to come up.
As the final lap begins the same three teams are all jostling for position and no one seems to have a clear dominance. Finally Rapha and Ferrari break up a bit as it becomes apparent that their sprinters are half way down the peloton with 5km to go. This could be a disaster for them!
Seeing that this is a big opportunity for them Sambris comes to the front with Martinez and then Davis in his wheel. Sinner is on to the back of this train with Cucinotta latching on too.
But suddenly Cucinotta falls. Guillen just manages to avoid him but Cooke is not so lucky and nor is Kolesnikov!
These are the only three riders down as the head of the peloton comes around, but some riders come into the corner before too fast and can’t avoid hitting it, causing a true mass pile-up!
And the best-placed names down are:
Bono (13)
Van Goolen (18)
Beyer (20)
Davis with his two lead-out men, Sinner and Guillen were the first men in the peloton to make it through unscathed and a gap opens up behind them. Davis realises that he could win the overall from here and he puts in a long attack with 1.6km to go!
And with 1km to the line he has a solid gap over everyone else but some riders are coming up fast!
Impey, Dowsett and Kiryenka are all looking fast. Kiryenka is in second overall and could win it with some bonus seconds!
And Davis sits up as he realises he won’t get a time gap. What a huge sprint that was. He moves himself on to the overall podium.
Impey takes second with Dowsett just holding on to third ahead of Park, who takes fourth. Guillen is in fifth, Marcato is sixth and Kiryenka can only manage seventh. Gatto, Geslin and Maaskant round out the top ten.
The crash causes one abandon, which is Khatuntsev.
And as said, Davis moves up to third on GC, bumping Kirchen down to fourth. He also wraps up the points jersey in the process. Pineau will take home the mountain jersey and Bobridge takes yet another jersey for best young rider, showing his huge amount of talent.
