Tvetcov/Team Exergy was part of a three man break but decided the others were not doing enough help so he has gone up the road alone where he has opened up a lead of 1m 22s on them and a further 4m 3s back to the pack

Hagman/Jelly Belly Cycling and our own Alex Bowden/Team Type 1 are still chasing at over four minutes and forty seconds back

With his two chasers now back in the peleton Tvetcov/Team Exergy now is alone in front with a lead of six minutes and three seconds

He is still setting himself a good pace as his lead is more or less the same

UnitedHealthcare have sent a couple of their riders to the front to try and reduce the gap

The Yellow jersey of Gallopin/Radioshack Nissan is never too far from the front

Every team is now beginning to gather at the front of the peleton as we come to the business end of the stage

As he begins to tire he is given the news from the race referee that his lead is now below the two minute mark

Once again its UnitedHealthcare who are controlling the front of the peleton, they must have there sights set on the stage victory today

The effort has finally taken its toll on him as his legs have nothing left as the attacks behind have started to close the gap on him very rapidly

The catch was made just inside the five kilometre mark and as Team Type 1 put the pressure down a split appeared in the main bunch

And the mass sprint for the line has started, who will be successful today

Its Philip Deignan of UnitedHealthcare who takes it just in front of our very own Kiel Reijnen

Murilo Fischer - Garmin - Sharp

Cesar Grajales - Competitive Cyclist Racing Team

Ryan Anderson - SpiderTech powered by C10

Really Happy with the way the guys went about there business today, being non-existent until when it mattered and then seeing Kiel battle it out for the win at the end.
And he is noe second on the GC, so i am very happy today

After lots of tight marking at the beginning of the stage where no team would give an inch, they finally allowed four riders to have some freedom at the front of the race, Williams/Competitive Cyclist, Tvetcov/Team Exergy, Mannion/Bontrager Livestrong and Bookwalter/BMC Racing where those riders and they soon opened up an advantage of 4m 9s

Their lead was now over five minutes

Mooney/Jamis Sutter Home was about to make contact with the foursome after coming across the gap from the peleton

The leaders are about to go up the final climb of the day Crane Valley Rd with a lead of five minutes forty one seconds with Mooney/Jamis Sutter Home somewhere in no man's land after failing to make contact with breakaways

With no other teams willing to do any chasing, UnitedHealthcare have come to the front to try and cut the gap in defence of there race leader Deignan

Race radio have just confirmed the lead at three minutes and fifty five seconds

Mooney/Jamis Sutter Home about to be swallowed up by the pack

Garmin and Radioshack have now come to the front to share the workload with UnitedHealthcare

As the breakaways pass under the twenty kilometre to go banner there lead has gone below two minute

The peleton are closing in on the break

The pace that Radioshack are setting is dropping riders off the back of the pack one after another including our rider Kiel Reijnen who is going to lose his second place on the GC

Gallopin/Radioshack-Nissan hits the front as he tries to win back his GC Lead

But its Murilo Fischer of Garmin Sharp who has the best sprinting legs today

Murilo Fischer - Garmin - Sharp

Serghei Tvetcov - Team Exergy

Ryan Anderson - SpiderTech powered by C10

Garmin - Sharp

Today was a day of pure hell for the guys,they suffered all the way through it and then the last ten kilometres were pure madness as the big teams laid down a really fast pace which resulted in Kiel losing his place in the top ten, but we still have Vegard and George looking good though
