Four riders have managed to form the break of the day which has already stretched out to 5m 55s, they are Davis/Node4 Giordana, Appleby/Metaltek Scott, Backstedt/UK Youth and Hawkins/IG Sigma Sport

They now lead the peleton by just under six minutes

Team Sky and Rapha Condor Sharp are leading the charge from the peleton

Race Radio confirms the gap as 3m 1s as the weather takes a turn for the worse

Less than twenty kilometres to go for the foursome and they still have 1m 28s in hand

Less than 30s remains so it looks like we are going to be treated to a bunch sprint

Rosskopf/Team Type 1 has managed to get himself to the front of the race as we near the finish in Norfolk

This sprint could be anybody's has no team has got control

But this is too close to call who are they going to give it too

After a long deliberation the race officials have come down in favour of our team and awarded it to Alexander Serebryakov

Endura Racing

Well we couldn't have dreamed of a better start than that.
A stage win for Alexander and all but one of the Classification jerseys are in the team bus tonight

Westwood/UK Wales is clear on his own with a lead of 1m 44s

He has been joined by Haga/Team Optum and Appleby/Metaltek Scott

The team are at the front of the peleton as we try to protect Alexander's lead on the General Classification

The latest time check is 1m 35s

Its been a brave effort from the trio but it looks like it is about to come to an end

Team Sky and Rapha Condor Sharp are bringing the peleton to the finish with a fast pace being set

No other teams have been able to get involved

This is going to be one hell of a sprint

Its Paul Voss of Endura Racing who proves he is the fastest today

Saur - Sojasun

That was a really hard day at the office today, the guys struggled to stamp there authority on the race.
But at the end of the day we still have Alexander in the Leaders jersey

I carried on with my attack after I had claimed the two Mountain prizes and have opened up an advantage of 2m 7s

I was soon back within the peleton and next to try his luck was Lasca/Caja Rural

Five chasers are about to make it across to him

Joining Lasca are Stannard/Sky Procycling, Higgins/Node 4 Giordana, Keogh/Team Exergy, Feillu/Saur Sojasun and Haga/Team Optum and the lead over the peleton is 3m

Rapha Condor Sharp have pegged the leaders back slightly to 1m 34s

There time is almost up as the peleton is breathing down there necks

The Team Type 1 train looks to be working perfectly

Under the red kite and its looking good for Serebryakov

And he makes it look easy as he takes his second stage win of the race

Team Exergy

What can i say, the man is a Beast

Sutton/Team Type 1 and Appleby/Metaltek Scott are just ahead of the peleton as they do battle for the King of the Mountains Competition

Team Type 1 are on the front of the peleton as they aim to keep Serebryakov out of trouble

Stevenson/UK Youth is clear on his own with a lead of 1m 20s

He is tapping out a great rhythm and has increased his lead to 3m 18s

The kilometres in his legs are beginning to take its toll as his lead has dropped below two minutes

Rapha Condor Sharp are gathering at the front of the bunch as they prepare for a fast run in

With Preidler/Team Type 1 setting a fast pace for our train, he caused a slight split

Serebryakov goes for it on the right side of the road

And once again he makes it look oh so easy
