Thanks everyone. A great win for Norris to put him to contend the GC.
4 rider's make today's BOTD: Andres Miessen (Quantec), Artur Kvosh (Itera), Michael Vink (Qantas) and Sven Van Luijk (Jo Piels).
No fight at the intermediate sprint, so Van Luijk passes 1st, Kovsh 2nd and Miessen 3rd.
Vink win's the only mountain sprint of the day. Miessen 2nd and Kovsh 3rd. The pack is already behind them, getting ready to reel them back in.
And attack from Norris! He wants the GC lead and he attacks Ciolek and his MTN squad with 11km's to go.
And there's a gap back to the main bunch. Only 18 rider's sit at the front group.
3km's to go. Drapac set's up a lead-out for McCauley but he brings Ciolek in his wheel. On the left side of the road, Lapthorne brings Giacoppo to the front.
Under the flamme rouge, Ciolek is already in the lead and no one is able to match his speed. He's walking for his 2nd win here in South Africa.
And it's the second win for Ciolek here. Stauff improves MTN's day as he finishe's 2nd, making a 1-2 for him team. Northley rounds up the podium.

@Selwink - Indeed they are.
@sutty - Hard close to impossible.
3 rider's go into the early break: Christian Varley (Node 4), Tim Roe (Qantas) and Gerald Henrichsen (Quantec).

Frank Niewold (Jo Piels) decides to attack to try to bridge the gap to the other escapees.
[center] 
Roe win's the 1st mountain sprint of the day. Varley 2nd and Henrichsen 3rd.
Niewold joins the other three to form a 4 man BOTD.
Henrichsen takes the next mountain sprint. Roe 2nd and Niewold 3rd.
Roe wins the 3rd mountain sprint of the day. Henrichsen 2nd and Varley 3rd.
And Gordon McCauley attacks from the pack. He's trying to gain some time, altough with 35km's to go, it's unlikely to happen.
Roe take's again full points at the last climb of the day. Henrichsen 2nd and Niewold 3rd.
Roe is the last of the escapees to get caught with 11km's to go. Sprint time.
And attack from Roberts!!! Walker tries to follow and so does Northey and Retschke.
But they all get caught. With 3km's to go, Norris brings Giacoppo to position. Ciolek is a little bit behind trying to recover to the Aussie wheel.
Under the flamme rouge, Ciolek his already in the lead but Giacoppo is giving everything he cans to pass him.
And it's super close. Who win's?
Ciolek get's his 3rd win. Stauff 2nd once again, 2nd day in a row 1-2 for MTN and roundind up the podium, Johnnie Walker.

Andreas Miessen (Quantec) is the only escapee of the day.
Miessen took the intermediate sprint, but in the pack there's both points and bonus seconds to be obtain. Giacoppo sprinted and got 2nd leaving Huff in 3rd.
Miessen alvo passes 1st in the only mountain sprint of the day. Roe 2nd and Debesay 3rd.
Miessen took the 2nd and last intermediate sprint of the day. In the pack, Huff and Giacoppo fight it, with the american getting 2nd leaving the aussie to 3rd.
Miessen get's caught with 12km's to go. Let's see if anyone takes advantage of the small hill to attack.
With 3km's to go, Qantas positions Giacoppo once again. Huff is brought forward by his team-mates while Ciolek is once again, trying to come from behind to the front.
Under the flamme rouge, Ciolek is already in the lead and he's starting to create a gap. He's he going for his 4th win here?
And, once again, Ciolek take's it. 4th win for him here. Giacoppo avoids another MTN 1-2 by beating to the line Stauff who get's 3rd.

@Jesleyh - Of course not, against by far the best rider on the race. Best sprinter, best puncher (ok, same stat as Goesinnen) and add that to have already 9 race days before this race and you have this.
@Ian - Cio would be proud of him.
@sutty - Let's hope for that. 
Tim Roe (Qantas( and Henrichsen (Quantec) are today's escapees. They have been so far, two of the most attacking rider's on this race.
Roe take's the 1st mountain sprint without contest by Henrichsen, who take's 2nd. Like this, it's mathematically impossible that Henrichsen can take this jersey away from Roe. Niewold took 3rd place at the pack.
The wearer of the white jersey, Sergey Nikolov, join's Henrichsen and Roe at the front to form the actual BOTD.
Nikolaev take's the 2nd mountain sprint of the day. Roe 2nd and Henrichsen 3rd.
Nikolaev take's the last categorized climb of the race, minus today's finish. Roe 2nd and Henrichsen actually got dropped, but he's about to recover in the downhill. He got 3rd.
With 10km's to go, the trio has 1'32'' on the pack. Henrichsen once again had trouble to keep up with the group on the small climb before the final climb.
And in the pack, a 5 man group is able to get away. Luke Roberts and Lachlan Norris, both from Qantas, Ricardo Van der Velde (Jelly Belly), Tom Vermeer (Jo Piels) and Jay Thomson (MTN). Surprising tactic from MTN.
At the front, Roe sees the time to get the stage win and attacks. Henrichsen has got nothing on his tank and bursts while Nikolaev his having difficulties to counter.
Roe get's caught by the small group and Van der Velde attacks! He get's countered by Norris.
Under the flamme rouge, Norris is starting to gain a gap and looks set to win his 2nd stage here. And attention, because Ciolek is currently 1'11'' behind Norris.
And what a win by Lachlan Norris!!! Strongest rider today. Van Der Velde 2nd and a surprising Vermeer 3rd. Time is starting to count to Ciolek.
Ciolek crosses the line now, in 8th position today. But more important, he loses 1'23'' to Norris. That means that the Qantas rider is the new GC leader!

Thanks everyone. Couldn't believe it when I saw Ciolek that far behind.
3 rider's form today's BOTD. Andreas Miessen (Quantec), Christian Varley (Node 4) and Bernard Sulzberger (Drapac).
Nothing else happens during today's stage and we are already in the last 10km's. The breakaway members try to hang on by attacking, but a mass sprint is inevitable.
3km's to go. MTN set's up a lead-out for Ciolek, while Qantas is doing what they can to position Giacoppo.
Under the 1km banner, Stauff is in front. Ciolek only started sprinting now and he's already in 1st places, coming really fast for another win for him.
And this ending show's how much strong Ciolek is compared to the other rider's present here in the flat stages. Great win for him. Huff take's the 2nd, beeing the best of the ''others''. Giacoppo is 3rd.
Norris crosses the line today in 17th, to confirm his GC win here in South Africa.

Review:
 for Norris. Great win for him, really surprised by how we we're the only team to shake off MTN and Ciolek. Adding to the GC win, 2 stage win's, numerous top 10's by our rider's, Giacoppo in the GC top 10 and Lapthorne in the GC top 15 and, ofc, the team classification. |
