We have a crash early on, and Continental rankings leader Jonathan Bellis is among those down!
Also down are Hutchinson, Rovira, Ma, Passalacqua, de Romijn and Pozzo.
Theres an early KoM, and a break has gone away, Maaskant is first, from Malori and Lelay.
Bellis has made it back to the peloton after his crash, along with Ma and Passalacqua. But Hutchinson, Rovira, de Romijn and Pozzo fail to do so, and face a long day, and notable time losses
Up front the break is still clear, and has increased to 7 riders - McEvoy, Lelay, Wolff, Malori, Ziegler, Maaskant, Lima and Cassidy.
With Arashiro being the race leader, Red Bull have the challenge of controlling things - with Wu, Matthews and Semple.
McEvoy takes the first sprint of the day, ahead of Lima and Maaskant
Attacks from the peloton now, started by Duret and Salerno, but Pavarin is the strongest
Wiggle are also attacking with Diggle. Bole and Ma follow him
Pavarin makes it up to the front group, and takes a couple of bonus seconds from 3rd place - behind Ziegler and Lelay
All of the attackers have now caught the break, but the peloton close in and catch them - although Maaskant, Lelay, Lima and Wolff give it one last go
Wolff is the last to be caught, with 20km to go
Now coming to the sprint, with Dan Lloyd heading the leadout for Cavendish - aswell as Vantomme, Guillen and Van Heerden
Luke Rowe had been behind Vantomme, but was pushed out of the way by Guillen, so his response is to go for a long sprint
Its working for Rowe, as Cavendish falters behind Lloyd, and none of the other sprinters are really close - so much so that Kairelis, from the relay train, leads into the final kilometre
Rowe moves past Kairelis
And Luke Rowe takes the stage!
Kairelis takes a great 2nd, while race leader Arashiro has come through for 3rd, to keep his lead, and continue a great race for him. Casper and Sulzberger round out the Top 5.
