A break of 12 goes clear on Stage 7. Renang, Sestili, Ford, Kaisen, Gazvoda, Viviani, Tjalingii, Schar, Tennant, Schroder, De Winde and KoM winner Santambrogio. Theres no more climbs left in the race though, the Italian will be forced to share the jersey with Tschopp.


Its the usual pattern in a stage race after mountains on a flat stage. Gap goes up, break ignore intermediate sprints, gap goes down, a few of them attack: Renang, Ford, Sestili and Kaisen


These 4 work well together, but are caught inside the last 5km. We get a bunch sprint again then, and for the 2nd stage in a row Klemme is leading out Hagen


And with about 1.3km to go, Hagen makes his move. His problem this time though, is Vanderbiest, Van Stayen and Roelandts were on his tail - and the Frenchman has already began his move past.


Vanderbiest moves into the lead, but as Van Stayen struggles to make an impact on Vanderbiest, Roelandts moves swiftly past Van Stayen, and closes on the lead. Baden Cooke is also up here


And Jurgen Roelandts takes stage win number 2 of this race! 2nd for Vanderbiest, then Hagen and Van Stayen


Roelandts is clearly the fastest sprinter in this race. So where was he on Stage 6?

Not sprinting today was Dekker, saving himself for the TT, but it has cost him the Points Jersey (at least for now). Hagen and Van Stayen now share it.
