Another flat stage and the same 3 favourites, Davis and Hollister were so strong yesterday, it's hard to see anyone beating them



The break is formed of: Nechita, Pauwels, Gudsell, Priamo, Vogt, Lund, Bajadali and Vigano


Priamo wins the sprint ahead of Gudsell and Vigano, Lighthart has now attacked and will slowly make his way across the gap


Priamo, Vigano, Pauwels is the order at the KoM point


and Priamo makes it 3 from 3, winning the final sprint ahead of Vigano and Bajdali, with 40km to go the break's lead is 3 minutes


Hollister have done all the work today, and with 20km to go the gap is at 90 seconds


with 10km to go the gap is holding at 50 seconds the break just have to keep working together!


Hollister's sprint chain looks in control again though


6.7km to go and the break are staying calm, the gap is 30 seconds and Hollister has had no help from anyone yet. Cavendish is again in Davis's slipstream


You know it's looking good for the break when you get their sprint stat breakdown, Vigano and Priamo are both decent sprinters, although they are near the back, and Priamo is in Vigano's wheel. Further forwards, Gudsell and Pauwels have both got a decent kick, just 4.5km to go now


Selander has almost dragged the sprinters back with 4km to go, Sonnery has slipped in front of Cavendish, Docker, Ciolek and Impey are on Cavendish's wheel, with yesterday's second placed finished behind them


3km to go and the break is reeled in. Dempster sprints immediately, surely Davis can't get 3 in a row


1800m left and Davis strikes for home, everyone else is just prepared to wait


under the kite Sonnery tries to pull alongside


Cavendish can;t find room on the left, while Ciolek powers down the right


He takes the lead, Impey tries to come round


Impey pulls himself almost level, the finishline is close now


A second tight finish in two days, Ciolek takes it ahead of Impey, Mariangeli is third, Docker and Cavendish next


So Ciolek gets the leaders jersey as well, 8 seconds ahead on Marinangeli and Davis, while Impey moves into 4th overall
