The Chipotle First Solar team are riding on the front of the bunch to get themselves noticed and get the sponsors some television time

Six riders have got an advantage of 2m 27s including myself and Alexander Serebryakov who is gathering up all the sprint bonuses with ease

The six leaders are slowly being reeled in by the pack which has decided to waken up

Once the pack had got themselves organised it didn't take them long to get back on level terms

The team are setting such a pace at the front that there is a gap appearing between them and the rest of the race

But once again Julian Kern of Leopard Trek Continental spoils the party for the team

Four riders are holding a 29s gap at the moment, they are Antunes/Carmin Prio, Jones/UK Wales, Summerhill/Chipotle First Solar and Northey/Node4 Giordana

The advantage has grown to 2m 28s

Fabio Calabria and myself have gone to the front of the bunch to try and reduce the gap to the four breakaways

With the four leaders passing under the ten kilometre to go banner, they still have just under 2m lead, so they could survive until the end unless the peleton decides to pull its finger out

Luc Jones of UK Wales decides to give it a go on his own at the front

And the bunch has come out of nowhere and has almost caught the leaders, this is going to be one hell of an exciting finish to the race

And its Amaro Antunes of Carmin Prio who holds off the rampaging pack to claim his first Professional victory and a day for the breakaway
