We've got another short stage today. The first part of it is always going up and down, and if thats not enough to possibly tire out some sprinters, there's also a 5.2km hill at 6.5% only 25km from the finish which migth get some sprinters in problems. Talabardon will have to score points on it to hold the KOM jersey, as Cavendish will have to do everything he can to keep Bennati off for the leaders jersey.
But that's al not happening just yet; first there is a Break of the day: Gazvoda, Kittl, Klostergaard, Cretskens and Ingels are the first off.
But they're not alone for long: Salerno crosses first.
Shortly followed by Erviti, Herrero Llorente, Vitoria and Heijboer as Klostergaard takes the first sprint.
As Vitoria takes sprint 2, Eurosport makes sure to keep the gap under 5 minutes, at times with a little help from Unicef and La Gazzetta.
And as with 50km the gap goes under three minutes, Rosseler, Barth and Nolf descide to have a go from the pack.
They don't hold their gap for too long though, as La Gazetta speeds up chasing them.
And as we reach the hill, the pack speeds up even more - closing in on the break as if they are amateurs. Maybe because the climb really is a lot steeper then the road book said: almost 9% rather then 6.5!
As Salerno wins the KOM sprint ahead of Herrero Llorente, Talabardon manages to just overtake the relay train, giving him just enough points to hold the jersey (11 against 10!).
As on the plateau three main sprinters are dropped (Guillen, Brown and Rasmussen), no attacks come as Gazzetta, Eurosport and Unicef keep the pace high. It'll surely end up in a sprint.
But... Cavendish is also seemingly having trouble!
And as Cavendish is indeed dropped, bad luck still isnt over for him as he crashes! Engels, Rasmussen, Brea and Chtioui are down with him.
Meanwhile, the race for victory today is still on as Marinangeli leads Bennati, Bozic, Bonnet and Roelandts away from the pack in preparation of the sprint, Phinney and Geslin are trying to compete with them.
2km later, things changed a little though: Marinangeli is tired from relaying all day as Phinney takes a small gap. Bonnet as well has trouble keeping up with the pace, leaving a gap behind teammate Bozic.
And since Marinanlgi really is out of gas, Bennati is forced to go early as even climbers like Nazaret and Hacecky hit the front!
But as Bennati is by far the strongest again, we've got 4 suprize rider battling for second: Nazaret, Hacecky, de la Fuente and Florencia, with the last one looking to be the best sprinter of them.
And it's just too easy for Bennati as Florencia indeed manages second.
As Hacecky hangs on to third, Bennati's teammate is cheering again as well in the back, as he knows they've taken the jersey and he'll be chasing breakaways tomorrow. They just keep winning and winning!
