Winter/Atlas Personal, Giordani/Farnese Vini and Bouyer of Eueopcar went away after just five kilometres of todays race and have opened up a gap of 5m 29s

The riders are keeping a steady rhythm going between them

They have lost nearly two minutes of there advantage

The peleton still don't seem interested

The lead is just over a minute as they approach the last twenty kilometres

Giordani/Farnese Vini is the last of the breakaway to be reeled in as the pack starts to get ready for the finale

Franzoi of Miche Guerciotti gives it one last go from within the peleton as Team Type 1 and BMC Racing have there sprint trains ready for action

It could be anybody's race as the field spreads out across the whole road

And its Adam Blythe of BMC Racing who gets to the line first

Omega Pharma - Quick·Step Cycling Team

A Great effort from the team today.
The lead out was for Daniele Callegarin, but he just didn't have it in the legs so Alessandro went for it instead and it proved to be a good decision for him

Our guys set a relentless pace up the only climb of the day to show everyone else that we mean business, lets hope that this plan doesn't backfire

Six riders have managed to break our stranglehold on the peleton and have escaped up the road, they are Lavery/Node4 Giordana, Forberger/Team NSP Ghost, Pedersen/Christina Watches, Rowsell/Endura Racing, Sztobryn/Bank BGZ and Grenda/Rapha Condor Sharp

Callegarin/Team Type 1 has gone clear over the brow of a small hill

Unfortunately for him though the peleton didn't want him to go clear so soon had him back within there grasp

Just inside the twenty kilometre to go mark, six riders make an attempt to get away

A touch of wheels in the middle of the peleton ruins the chances for lots of riders

Meanwhile at the same time Reihs of Chrisina Watches is trying to slip off the front

But he gets swallowed up before the final five kilometres to go banner

Rodriguez of Team Exergy has managed to open up a small advantage of twelve seconds on the pack, but unfortunately he has Huff of Jelly Belly and Russell Downing of Endura Racing right behind him

But he doesn't have the power to beat Downing to the line and its the Britain who takes the win

Endura Racing

Unfortunately it wasn't to be today, the guys tried to get involved but other teams plans were better than ours
