Frischkorn and Martins are the breakaway
Frischkorn has the better of Martins in both the intermediate sprints
2 in the break means the sprinters battling for 3rd - Goss takes it one time, Renshaw another
Frischkorn can take the KoM jersey if he wins the KoM climb, but with 1km to the top the 2 leaders are joined by 4 others: Landaluze, Fahnert, Rovira and Dempster, who had attacked around 15km previously
Frischkorn cant hang on to them, Fahrnert takes the climb, Nogaledo keeps the jersey
Fahrnert, Rovira and Landaluze attempt to stay away but are caught with 16km to go
The riders start building up for the sprint - but AON's Duret crashes!
Yellow jersey down!
Jelajah Malaysia winner Matteo Carrara is on the floor aswell!
Back up to the sprint, no team seems in control
Juan van Heerden takes the initiative and makes his move
Theres a moment of hesitation before Goss charges after his former teammate
Goss is going quicker but Van Heerden leads as they charge up the 2% slope to the climb
Victory for Juan van Heerden!
Claudio Corioni sneeks through for 3rd, just ahead of Wes Sulzberger
Its a bad day for Igor Astarloa. He loses 2 minutes, the yellow jersey, and is probably now out of GC contention
