Together with Katusha, they forced big splits in the peloton with ~10km to go.
EBH punctured afterwards, so it was bad luck for him.
Later with ~2km to go Lotto Jumbo NL accelerated another time splitting the lead group of 40 again into half just to screw up in the final roundabout at 1km to go, where suddenly 4 Katusha, 2 BMC+Cav+Bennett only I think were leading with several 3-4 rider groups behind. No more Lotto after all their effort before.
You should watch the final kilometers of today. It`s hilarious.
Actually La Mediterranneen is a completely new race. Seems to be the same/similar organization but they announced it as 1st edition. It`s going through France, Italy and Spain apparently and misses the former Mont Faron, which was typical climb of the former Tour de Mediterranneen.
Kristoff is looking like he is gonna have another strong year.
Demare bags up his first win of 2016.Though a very weak field.And a 1-2 by FDJ with Delage taking 2nd.

It's basicly their usual Qatar lineup, and since they aren't riding there this year..
