William Dugan is the first Team Type 1 rider to complete the course and he manages it in a time of 38m 46s

Santos of LA Antarte betters him by 50s but both riders will finish the day near the back of the final results

The first good time is achieved by Bevin of Bissell Cycling who comes in with 36m 26s

He is followed in by Creed of Team Optum who manages to beat him by a single second

Quaade of Blue Water Cycling is again better and sets a new fastest time of 35m 55s

Many more riders finish but don't challenge the time
Atkins of Bontrager Livestrong is one of them

Hernandez of Jelly Belly Cycling is another

As is our very own Joey Rosskopf

Dombrowski misses out as well when he was expected to do well

Mancebo oc Competitive Cycling was leading until the final couple of kilometres and then fell away

Ben Jacques Maynes finally beats the time with 35m 45s with only a handful of riders left to go

All the riders were on the course except for me and i am now on the ramp trying to gather my thoughts before i get the signal to go

I am soon in to my stride as i try to defend my race lead

King of the Mountains leader Dirk Müller of Nutrixxion Abus puts in a good ride

Rory Sutherland finishes very strongly

So does Haga of Team Optum

And Ribeiro of Efapel Glassdrive

But who has won

Joseph Dombrowski - Bontrager - Livestrong Team

UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team

We have taken a Great step today towards winning the race overall, so from now until the end we will do everything in our power to achieve that

The first attack of the day comes after just three kilometres and contains four riders Schmitt/Team NSP Ghost, Haga/Team Optum, Alzate/Team Exergy and Grenfell/Competitive Cyclist

The gap is at 3m 11s to the breakaway riders with the best on the GC being Grenfell/Competitive Cyclist who is nearly six minutes behind, that's why I am taking things easy at the moment at the front of the pack

The lead has been reduced to 2m 23s

Joey Rosskopf/Team Type 1 has come to the front to keep the pace high and try and reel in the leaders

His hard work is about to pay off as the pack has the leaders within thirty seconds

One more rider remains just ahead of the peleton as the team all come to the front and sets a high pace to make sure I stay out of trouble

A kilometre to go and its Jelly Belly and Efapel Glassdrive who hit the front

But both teams get outwitted by UnitedHealthcare who take a great 1-2 on the line with Boy Van Poppel the winner

Jose Mendes - LA - Antarte

Joseph Dombrowski Bontrager - Livestrong Team

UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team

It was a bit fast and furious today, but we are glad that the team managed to keep hold of the Leaders Jersey

Race radio has just confirmed that the seven riders in this break have a lead of 6m 49s, they are House/Competitive Cyclist, Dugan/Team Type 1, Oram/Bontrager Livestrong, Powers/Jelly Belly Cycling, Schildge/Jamis Sutter Home, Mullervy/Team Exergy and Nielsen/Blue Water Cycling

The lead has dropped a little due to the terrain

Three minutes and fifty seconds is the latest time check that we have been given back to the peleton

The leaders are all battling to stay in touch as they accent the first category climb of Anderson Vista

Diegnan/UnitedHealthcare and Muller/Nutrixxion Abus third and fourth on the GC respectively have made a move near the top of the final climb which could spell danger for our race Leader Gary Sutton/Team Type 1, he is going to have to react to this move soon

With all the action happening further back in the peleton, Mancebo/Competitive Cyclist has ridden off on his own and has managed to open up a small advantage

Deignan/UnitedHealthcare is closing in on Mancebo/Competitive Cyclist whilst race radio is saying that Gary Sutton/Team Type 1 has cracked and is losing his Overall Lead in dramatic fashion as he is over five minutes behind on the road

Mancebo/Competitive Cyclist is inside the final kilometre as Deignan/UnitedHealthcare and now Dombrowski/Bontrager Livestrong close in

And Mancebo holds on to take a Magnificent victory

I have to admit that i am in total shock after what happened today out on the road, we never expected to blow up like we did and lose everything, it was a bitter pill to swallow, the guys are sitting in the Team coach totally in total despair at the fact that everything we worked hard for this week has gone in a blink of an eye, This will take some time to get over
