Kessiakoff holds EA-Sony's last hope of a high GC finish,
but needs to make up some time on the ITT here.
Taylor Phinney sets the first major time to beat at 36'42".
It takes until Manuele Boaro before Phinney's time is broken, by 7 seconds.
Bartosz Huzarski poses the next real threat
but comes 3 seconds short of Boaro's time.
Then the man everyone was waiting for, Fredrik Kessiakoff.
And he sets the new time to beat by just a second over Boaro.
However Andreas Dietziker has other ideas,
beating Kessiakoff by 18 seconds!
But even that time doesn't last, Stefan Schumacher lights up the leaderboard with a time of 35'45". That beats Andreas Dietziker by 31 seconds!
Jesús Hernández has a bad day and will lose a few GC spots.
Tomasz Kiendys does everything he can to save yellow,
but at the end of the day will have to hand it over to Stefan Schumacher.
Kessiakoff moves from 12th to 8th in GC.

Interview - Fredrik Kessiakoff
Q: Any chance you can make up more time tomorrow?
A: It is a hilly stage so it's quite possible to pick up a few more seconds but jumping into the top 5 probably isn't going to happen.
One final stage; although it's classified as hilly, the profile looks relatively flat. So the question remains, can anyone find a way to steal time on the last stage?
Hayman again tries to get in the morning breakaway,
and again the peloton won't give him any sort of gap.
However, the peloton does let this 4 man group go.
Including two EA-Sony riders, Taylor Phinney and Jimmy Licina.
Filip Eidshiem shows the only interest in the final KoM of the tour,
and the breakaway is joined by one more rider
as they now grow out their lead to 6 minutes.
With no interest through the sprint point, Phinney picks up some valueable points to move him every so closer to Stefan Schumacher for the green jersey. But he will have to make it the finish to have any chance to over take Schumacher.
18.8kms to go, with their lead down to just 1'35" Phinney puts in one last desperate attempt. Eidshiem is the only breakaway man to counter.
Then a very strange move comes out of the peloton,
Manuele Boaro doesn't think the pace is the high and attacks.
At the same time Licina is back in the peloton.
Shortly after Boaro's attack a crash occurs at the back of the peloton.
No EA-Sony riders or anyone high placed in GC goes down.
The crash however does slow down the peloton, and with 2.7kms to go
Phinney or Eidshiem is going to win the stage!
Clearly Eidshiem has the fresher legs after Phinney pushed the tempo the whole time after he attack with 18kms to go.
Filip Eidshiem of Team Østerhus - Ridley takes a outstanding breakaway win. Phinney should be happy with a 2nd after all the hard work he put in today. Oh, and he also claims the green jersey if Schumacher finishes outside of 4th.
Schumacher leads the intact peloton to the line, however it's only good for 6th place as the remaining breakaway riders beat the peloton to the line. Meaning Taylor Phinney wins the sprint competition!

Interview - Taylor Phinney
Q: Did you think you were going to make it to the finish?
A: Hold on let me catch my breath a second ... um ... Honestly, no. But I had the energy left after Licina did most of the work in the breakaway today, so I was like why not, lets see what happens. And what do you know I crash happens. Very glad to win the green jersey, just wish I could have won the stage after Filip Eidshiem rode my back wheel for the last 15kms.

Very good May for you, mainly Talansky finally doing something better for the team. Good luck in June
It took a year and a half for Talansky to finally produce for the team, and I think he might be the missing link that could get us promoted this year Either him or Van Garderen (who is now starting to get in form), odds are in our favor for a change.

A short individual time trial followed by two flat stages,
will Larsson gain enough time to hold off the sprinters?
Pichot is the first EA-Sony rider out of the starthouse,
and it looks like he scared away the morning rain
the plagued the first few riders.
Jesse Sergent puts his name right next to current leader
Benoît Vaugrenard with the same time of 7'06".
Taylor Phinney miss the top of the leaderboard by just a second, 7'07".
Steven Cozza beats Phinney by a second.
Meaning we now have three riders tied for the lead.
Tiago Machado will want to forget today,
the prerace favourite is 9 seconds off the leaders.
Lieuwe Westra adds his name to the top of the board as well,
4 men now share the top spot.
Jens Mouris finally beats the leaders by just another second,
but a rider later Rick Flens beats him by a second.
And then comes this guy, Jos Van Emden, putting up a time of 6'57".
That time is going to be hard to beat.
The last man on the course is the World Champion Larsson.
But his form is his downfall today,
he comes 2 seconds short of Van Emden.

Interview - Gustav Erik Larsson
Q: Not a good sign as you began your prep races for the Tour de France.
A: Yeah, but by the time the Tour rolls around I should be in top form. And I need to be with the team time trial early on stage 2.
The first of two almost completely flat stages to finish this short tour.
Larsson comes in 2 seconds behind Jos Van Emden
after a disapointing time trial yesturday.
7 men in the early breakaway,
and the sprint point is heavily contested with the bonus seconds looming.
The indent on today's route comes and goes without any fuss.
But does give the riders a change in scenery.
The second sprint point puts on a show for the few fans watching on.
But it turns out the breakaway won't get to battle out the final sprint point with EA-Sony doing most of the work today bringing everyone back.
Taylor Phinney puts in a surprise move 800 meters later.
And his move will let him pick up 6 bonus seconds.
And Larsson beats the front of the peloton to take 4 seconds,
thus becoming the new virtual leader of the tour.
10kms to go, a bunch sprint looks certain.
But it's never that easy, a major split occurs.
50 riders now broken free from the rest of the peloton.
And the pace is too high for the peloton to come back.
Bobbie Traksel takes the early lead with 900 meters to the line.
But his lead doesn't last, the remaining sprinters burst up the middle including the yellow jersey of Jos Van Emden.
Giacomo Nizzolo wins in front of Christopher Sutton and William Bonnet.
Jos Van Emden will just lose his yellow jersey by coming in 4th.
Larsson survives today, but will the
bonus seconds come back to beat him tomorrow.

Interview - Taylor Phinney
Q: Will you be working for Larsson or for yourself tomorrow.
A: Um, a little bit both. It would be awesome to finish tomorrow with 1-2 in GC, but to do that I need some bonus seconds and the other sprinters need to have problems at the finish. It's a longshot, but it's worth the try.
The final stage will come down to bonus seconds,
or maybe a surprise breakaway steals the day.
The first attempt at a breakaway, including Steven Cozza.
But only half of the breakaway riders make it to the sprint point
won by Cozza. The first sprint was no effect on the GC at all.
The breakaway is given a minute leash by the peloton the whole day,
and Cozza takes the next sprint as well. And again no effect on GC,
there isn't many seconds left to gain now.
And the breakaway rolls through the final sprint point,
and as said before no change to major GC spots.
It will come down to the finish.
Or will it? The remaining breakaway riders out of nowhere
pull out a two minute lead with 20kms to go.
There is no organization in the peloton for the first time all day.
But FDJ and Vacansoleil come to terms and
work together to bring everyone together with 8kms to go.
Bert Scheirlinckx, just 35 seconds off the lead,
makes a surprise attack with 5kms to go.
But Feillu and the EA-Sony sprint train are not going to let that go.
The road opens up as Scheirlinckx is caught.
Phinney finds himself at the front of the race
after linking up with the FDJ train.
1km to go, Phinney now is in a perfect spot to win the tour!
Phinney around William Bonnet on his left, Graeme Brown goes right
(But is out of the GC picture).
Phinney needs to watch Giacomo Nizzolo coming hard on the far right.
They come to the line, if Nizzolo gets past Bonnet - Phinney wins the tour
but Larsson drops to 3rd overall. If not, Phinney and Larsson go 1-2.
Brown takes the stage, Phinney 2nd, and ... Bonnet hangs on for 3rd.
Taylor Phinney wins the tour, Gustav Erik Larsson 2nd overall.
A great tour of EA-Sony Ericsson!

Interview - Taylor Phinney
Q: You are really starting to put up the results, can you take us through the last 1000 meters?
A: Sure, going in I had Bonnet's wheel with Brown behind me and I knew Nizzolo was a few riders back. I made my move to the left and at the same time Brown went to the right, I looked over and then I saw Nizzolo coming really fast. And I'm glad the line was where it was today because if it was 200 meters further Nizzolo would have beat us all.
Just wanted to step by and apologize for not commenting that much over here. I really should, since the team has three such awesome leaders as Larsson, Löfkvist and Kessiakoff.
You're doing a great work, so keep it up! I'll try to be around a bit more!
Edited by Pellizotti2 on 10-04-2012 18:00
A very weak startlist with EA-Sony clearly having the best climbers present. But today will belong to the fast men before we can reach the mountains tomorrow.
A large breakaway emerges in the early going.
And these 13 men are allowed to get away.
Now at the final sprint point the breakaway
just has a minute lead over the charging peloton.
Coming up on 10kms to go the peloton quits chasing,
so Larsson tries to come across the gap.
That move wakes up the peloton,
and everyone is back together for a bunch sprint.
Bad positioning and lack of form keep Keough and Howard
from competing in the sprint.
In the end William Bonnet of FDJ proves
to be the best sprinter of the bunch.
Followed by Jens Keukeleire (Cofidis) and Graeme Brown (Rabobank).

Interview - Gustav Erik Larsson
Q: Did you think your attack was going to work?
A: Probably not, but I had to create some excitement for the team. Otherwise today would have been really boring. And trust me, stage 2 will be a lot more exciting.
Two hard climbs and an uphill finish are in store for the riders today. EA-Sony comes in with 6 riders marked
as favourites heading into this TDF prep stage.
Early on breakaways find it hard to open a solid gap.
EA-Sony watches on as the peloton
can't make their mind up on an opening breakaway.
The next attack comes 100kms from the finish.
5kms later at the sprint point he is joined by two more riders.
But all three are eventually caught at the base of the first climb.
Jack Bauer is the first to attack the mountains.
EA-Sony is setting down a hard tempo to keep Bauer in their sights.
But our climbers are just overpowering
and leave the rest of the peloton on the mountain side.
A quick downhill and then we are right back at it.
EA-Sony waste no time dropping Bauer, and now are leading the race.
Larsson, an average climber, is dropped from his teammates.
Which just shows the caliber of climbers from EA-Sony leading this race.
And in no time they are over the top heading towards the finish.
Larsson comes over a minute later, then two minutes after that climbers that attacked out of the peloton can be seen.
Our boys are just taking turns and pounding out a solid tempo now.
It is clear that they won't be caught!
5kms to go and over the team radio I tell them it's everyone for themselves. Peraud and Feillu seperate themselves from the group right away.
Peruad takes a dominating win not just over the peloton
but his teammates as well.
The other frenchman Feillu comes in 32 seconds later.
Then comes Thomas Löfkvist and Tejay Van Garderen.
Daniel Martin makes it 5 straight EA-Sony through the finish.
And look at that, Larsson takes 6th after being dropped
halfway up the final climb by his teammates.
More than 6 minutes later from when Peruad won the stage we see a rider without a EA-Sony jersey finishing the stage, Rinaldo Nocentini. What a dominating performance from the team today,
perhaps the best of all-time!
