Stage 9 is the final chance for the sprinters to shine. But will they’ve team mates ready to sacrifice themselves to catch the early attacks? There’s 2 decisive days to come for the overall classification, and

probably prefers to save their domestiques for the final stage instead of using them today. But we shall see, favourites for today are

The stage is 172 kilometers long, and it’s another day with good weather, though, we’re missing the heat we’ve had on the previous stages, only 11 degrees today.

135 kilometers into the stage, and we’ve a huge breakaway with a good gap back to the peloton. 10 riders co-operate well, having 4’45 back to the peloton. The riders are:

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Rothaus.png Willems
is the rider going first over the only classified climb of the day, taking the 6 mountain points. The 10 riders continue to extend their advantage, with 125 kilometers left, the gap is up to 6 minutes.

times his turns at the front perfect in the breakaway, as he rolls over first at the first intermediate sprint aswell. They’re 8 minutes ahead of the peloton now, 101 kilometers to go.

The young German,
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/puma.png Martin
leads the breakaway onto the long flat run in to the finish line. 71 kilometers to go, the peloton is controlling the well though, being only 5’30 behind.

The peloton is led onto the flat by Proximus, where
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/proximus.png Kip
clearly believes in himself, having sent 6 team mates to the front of the peloton. They’re 5’10 behind now, taking time at the breakaway for every turn at the pedal!

The peloton and
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/proximus.png Proximus
won’t let a chance to shine slip today, with 20 kilometers left, they’re only 1’20 behind, having complete control on the 10 attackers.

i442.photobucket.com/albums/qq146/emberland_2008/Bolattacks-1.jpg

The breakaway is about to get caught with 12 kilometers left, and
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/puma.png Bol
attacks from the peloton!

i442.photobucket.com/albums/qq146/emberland_2008/10kmtogooverview.jpg

9400 meters left, and
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Rothaus.png Willems
proves the strongest in the breakaway, and he’s off solo.

has caught
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Aker.png Viennet
going under the 10 kilometer banner. But you can see the peloton behind, they’re in with a determined chase here.

i442.photobucket.com/albums/qq146/emberland_2008/Pelotonstopsriding.jpg

But 7.6 kilometers away from the finishing line, the peloton completely shuts down! The chase is gone, the speed is low, and the riders at the front have no interest in doing the pacing. That’s a surprise!

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Rothaus.png Willems
is given new motivation to keep going, and so he does! 5700 meters away from the finishing line he leads the peloton with no less than 90 seconds. The 5 chasers are 31 seconds behind him, which he should manage to hold on, as he’s extending the lead as we speak!

i442.photobucket.com/albums/qq146/emberland_2008/ThechaserscanseeWillems.jpg

Only 3.5 kilometers to go now, and the chasers have
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Rothaus.png Willems
in sight, but the picture lies a bit. The gap is now 45 seconds, meaning he's extending his lead! You can count the peloton out, they’ve completely stopped to ride, now being 2’15 behind Willems.

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Rothaus.png Willems
and the 5 chasers are out of reach.

were clearly dead weight in the final kilometers here, as they’re nowhere to be seen now.

Here a critical situation took place for the followers of the race. The camera man crashed, were sent to hospital, and were never seen in Portugal again, therefore there won't be screenshots of the riders arriving the finish line (I must have forgot to take the screenshots I was sure I took. When converting the report to forum format I realized 4 screenshots were missing, the final 4, not a good feeling.)

This means the followers are back to the good old radio for the finish of the stage!

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Rothaus.png Willems
looks so surprised himself, he doesn’t even celebrate his huge win! That was definitely a big surprise on a stage the peloton seemed to control very well. Congratulations to Willems, taking the chance on offer, and making full use of it.
