It's the opening HC race of the season and it is PCM09.
A break of 10 went away
Hruska, Martins, Cunha, Klimiankov, Roulston, Lima, Signego, Nogaledo, Van Ooijen, Bahati
Lima took the first sprint ahead of Cunha
Nogaledo took the climb ahead of Signego, and Martins
Nogaledo is 2nd at the next one to take the jersey, Klimiankov won this particular climb
The 2nd sprint was very tight. Nogaledo takes it over Cunha and Roulston
Devenyns, Pasamontes and Podgorny attacked the peleton and linked up with the break with around 40km to go - the break lewading now by 1'45
It starts to split into the finalk 25km, here are Van Ooijen, Kilimiankov, Hruska, Lima and Bahati
Van Ooijen then goes solo
Splits in the peleton too, a group of 45 lagging behind the front group of 44
Holding onto his lead, 10km left for Van Ooijen
But the Dutchman is caught at 7.5km to go, allowing the sprinters to move into place
Its Starbucks at the head of things as Minard leads out Renshaw
But Traksel is closing in with Goss on his wheel. On the other side of the road, Tolleson is going well too with Sinner.
Just as it looked like he had lost his advantage, Renshaw pounces
Ciolek, Corioni and Sinner lead the chase behind the Australian
But it's a win for Renshaw!
A lot of riders were to get lucky with time gaps. Infact, anyone outside the top 27 should really have lost a bit of time - more so those outside the top 40. But today their luck is in.
