The early attacks form a group of 5, Silvestre, Jamieson, Scheunemann, Ladagnous and Facci, who cross the first intermediate sprint in that order
We ultimately see a 13 man breakaway come together
Jamieson
Tendero, Rogers
Rijntjes, Navardauskas
Ghyselinck
Ladagnous
Renang
Bertogliati
Vaugrenard
Scheunemann
Facci
Silvestre
Once again the wind is out. Stretched peloton again seems all it will bring
Pokerstars are ready to take on the responsibility to chase the break, Mohs needs to win with Swift out of the Top 3, to take overall victory here from the Brit
With 35km to go Del Nero of Santander attacks. Caught 5 kilometres later but is soon off again
The 2nd sprint is at 23km to go. Del Nero has caught the break and watches on as Silvestre outsprints Tendero
And now the inevitable last ditch attacks of the breakaway. Jamieson, Facci, Scheunemann and the ever-aggressive Del Nero
Its not been a great race for Jack Wolfskin and here it gets worse, 18th overall Rosseler crashes of his own accord
With 13km to go, everybody has all been caught
Into the final 10km, the sprint trains are starting to form. Pokerstars have the edge on Vesuvio at the moment, with Nestle alongside Pokerstars - except Nestle are missing their sprinter Lo Cicero
Into the final 5km and Del Nero is attacking again! This time following Franzoi
At the same time, Pokerstars and Nestle start to surge forwards, leaving Vesuvio behind. Problem though. Lo Cicero still hadnt found the Nestle train, and Mohs has lost the wheel of Degenkolb! Swift meanwhile, remains firmly on the wheel of leadout Schinker - even if Avelino is now blocking Schinker and Stauff
Schinker soon finds Stauff, and as the rest falter, now Vesuvio make their move forwards - and only Bewley is awake to it
Del Nero is the man in the lead though, and he has 2km to go
And when Degenkolb reaches 2km to go he is one of the first to start sprinting, with Mohs on his wheel - theyre a long way back now though, with Castaneda, Avelino, Kupfernagel, Lo Cicero and Vanderbiest in between them and Swift/Bewley
Schinker is building up the sprint for Swift, but as Swift waits, Bewley decides to go - finally the Kiwi has fixed his problem of poor positioning and launching too late - but will it be too early this time?
Or perhaps still too late, as Del Nero leads into the final kilometre. Swift now launches in pursuit of Bewley, and they soon pass Franzoi
Its been a good effort by Del Nero, but its not to be as Bewley moves into the lead
And Sam Bewley wins the stage! That moves him into 2nd overall, while 2nd place secures Ben Swift the overall victory!
3rd for Vanderbiest, just lifting him into the Top 20 overall, as he edges out Mohs, Del Nero and Lo Cicero. Mohs will be kicking himself, again finding himself unable to hold onto his train (as the video highlights will show), and he perhaps should have taken more from here than the 2 stage wins and 3rd overall he did manage
Finishing with 4 teammates, crash victim Rosseler ended up losing 5'56. The only positive being that it gave Jack Wolfskin some extra TTT practice ahead of the Tour of Oman!
Thus ends the first race of the season, where the drama of Stage 2 dissapointingly never resurfaced, the winds couldnt have been much stronger, yet it all held together. Its an unbelievable start to the season for Vesuvio-Accumalux though, already their rivals are pushed onto the back foot.
