BMC leads the chase in peloton...

With the breakaway reaching 2nd Int. sprint, gap is droped to 5´40".. B.J.Maynes wins both Int. sprints..

Peloton climbs Mount Nebo now with M.Cooke making the pace, BMC´s riders struggle now..

After Cooke´s good job with the pace, J.Acevedo reach Mayne´s group..

When the break is caught, Acevedo attacks..

F.Schleck(RLT), D.Martin(GRS) and D.Pozzovivo(ALM) stick with Janier..

After the top, with nobody wanting to work, some more riders join the main group..

Within the 10kms mark, the Mexican champion L.Davila(JBC) attacks.. Acevedo decides this is the right time to do the same..

Last KM.. Acevedo is very tired but has a nice gap...

. and takes a beautifull win... sponsor goal achieved..

Short circuit, any breakaway can be dangerous so we take the pace in peloton while B.J.Maynes rides with the break..

The stage went quickly to the last 10kms where D.Martin attacks.. Acevedo couldn´t counter but he rides to the front now, behind F.Mancebo(5HR)

Mancebo and Acevedo counter R.Gesink´s attack...

While Mancebo couldn´t stay with Acevedo, our Colombian rider manages to catch up with the front group.. empty but avoided time loss today..

D.Martin wins the stage, gains some bonus seconds wich brings him closer to Acevedo in GC..

Interesting battle for top 3 places... some top10 riders already lost time in such stage, tomorrow´s stage promises to be full of action where many will attack for sure..

We join the stage with the peloton climbing Clayton Peak, 2nd kom sprint... we controlled everything until now, where some riders are trying to get away..

With the high pace, almost all from top10 are getting away from the rest... Wren and Varela get droped after all the work they have done..

And guess who´s making that pace... that´s right, M.Cooke it is.. Koren was caught.. 33" for E1..

With Cooke already riding at the front( 3kms to kom sprint), J.Acevedo attacks..

Behind him, D.Martin starts to struggle... F.Schleck makes the pace in this group..

D.Martin isn´t having a good day for sure.. Acevedo feels like +1 but 4 in fitness..

After the top, J.Acevedo and F.Schleck get away.. D.Martin leads the group behind, 51"gap..

With this long descent, Martin gets some fresh air and attacks from his group..

The wheel sucker Schleck didn´t wanted to work, so the group behind catches up..

I knowed this would come.. after loosing almost 1´00" yesterday, F.Schleck and D.Caruso attack.. one more climb to go..

Last climb... with those 2 at the front, Acevedo attacks.. 16kms to go..

Once again, D.Martin attacks from behind to join Acevedo..

Near the 10kms mark, Acevedo tries to catch up with the front duo.. he has to defend his lead..

Janier makes the pace but R.Gesink 3rd GC
+36" attacks.. Acevedo must counter.. D.Pozzovivo goes with..

D.Martin is droped again.. M.Busche and B.Bookwalter are with him..

5kms to go, Acevedo finally cracks..

Janier is completly empty... Bookwalter stays with him..

At the front, F.Schleck wins the stage..

He was a real fighter today.. Janier finishes 7th..

Words... we really tried..

Half stage done, the 6 men breakaway leads with 11´49"gap..

With 9kms to 2nd Int. sprint, we take the lead in the pack and start the chase..

When we reach the Int. sprint, our pace droped the gap to 7´38"... RadioShack comes to the front now..

5,5kms to kom sprint, top10 riders get away from the pack.. breakaway group isn´t far now, Acevedo will try to get some points at the top..

.. but knowing this guy, he couldn´t just sit there and wait... .. Acevedo attacks with 5kms to kom sprint.. there wasn´t any reaction wich i thought it looks good..

.. i was wrong.. .. with 5kms to go, F.Schleck rides alone at the front, followed by D.Martin, this guy struggled before kom sprint and now just rides away.. no legs for Acevedo..

F.Schleck wins...
