The last chance for the sprinters to go for stage honours and while the day kicks off with a tough climb (which should be interesting for the KoM-competition), the stage is made for a bunch sprint.

Will Ulanowski finally grab a stage? Or will Guillén repeat his victory from second day?



The break of the day - 8 riders, challenging for all intermediate sprints today:

Konte, Anza, Tratnik, Altur, Khalilikharashani, Tanovitchii, Barbero, Earle

KoM (Cat 3) Tratnik Anza Mihaylov
KoM (Cat 1) Altur Tratnik Kahlilikhi Anza

(Local hero Mihaylov wouldn't make this breakaway group eventually, obviously.. while Earle would take out two intermediate sprints and Konte the third)



Let's keep it short though: the peloton looked in control of this breakaway attempt and swallows the group about 10km before finish.. Privatbank, Magna and ONCE would be the teams to set the pace late in this race.



For obvious reasons, as those teams would also set the trains. Let's take a look:

Nielsen
Andriato	Vorganov
	Nikolaev		Cano
	Ulanowski	Speirs	Guillén
	Grosu	Cano	Reinhardt
		Drujon
		Briggs
		Appollonio
		Kocjan		Gavazzi
		Martin

Close to the flamme rouge, the situation looks all different though, as the battle for the positions is quite entertaining to watch:

Cano/Guillén and Belletti lead the bunch into the final km, with Ulanowski now accelerating on the very left side... Andriato went from left to right..



Belletti now in the lead as it's getting clearer, who is likely to be in the mix for stage here..



Belletti more and more struggles to keep his pace though and now goes Guillén, who's teammate Cano has done his work..

Drujon moving forward as well, and so does Grosu.. Ulanowski finally leaving his last man standing's slipstream, as also Park and Breschel catch up to the leading six!



Guillén holds on, but it's another close one: Drujon, Grosu and Ulanowski now head-to-head with only a few metres remaining...



But Guillén takes it with Ulanowski and Grosu completing the podium ahead of Drujon and Park! This will also mean the lead in the points competition for Guillén, who seems to be in best shape to score another stage-win here.

He also jumps onto 2nd in GC, now 1'02" behind Eichler.. tomorrow's hilly stage is likely to mix the GC though, so of course this is still a close GC from 2nd place on. Will Eichler be able to keep the yellow in the next two stages, which are expected to be the toughest in this tour?
