Our riders were very excited in the start of the race and unfortunatelly it seems like other riders thought it was strange. Because of this they were reluctant to let our riders away. There were a lot of breaks but they were all quite short, all our riders tried except Dean but we only got 1st and 2nd at the KoM sprint.
The game crashed so unfortunatelly no pictures.
There was a strong wind in the end and Dean wasted a lot of energy getting a wheel, he finally got behind Davis but by that time he was really tired and could not pass him.
GC
Chavanel held on to his advantage in front of Pozzato with best italian only 5th.
