Another hilly stage, which will hopefully provide an interesting finale.
The day was dominated by a solo break from Giaux - clearly recovered from Stage 4's crash. Lewis, Kornetsky and Burke chase him, but never really got close as Giaux swept up all 3 intermediate sprints
At the 3rd, the battle for 2nd palce saw a continuation of the points jersey battle. Ciolek edged out Casper, reducing the Frenchman's lead to 1
Kunitski, Sabido and Freire launch a move from the peloton
Giaux took the first KoM points as more attacks come - Scheirlinckx, Gaywood, Ljungblad, Grabovski, Fleeman, Rast, Koren, Longo Borghini and Roux
Ljungblad is the first to catch Giaux
Anza, Leukemans, Nocentini and China now attack
Now its Rooijackers, Sulzberger and the 2nd and 3rd overall riders: Casper and Ponzi. Ciolek seems likely to lose the race lead - will one of these two take over?
Now Ginanni attacks
Roux takes the 2nd KoM, ahead of Ljunblad and Rast
We have a grop of 5 (Koren, Ljungblad, Roux, Kunitski, Rast), then a group of 8 (Grabovski, Longo Borghini, Gaywood, Nocentini, China, Freire, Scheirlinckx, Sabido) and then another 8 (Leukemans, Rooijackers, Anza, Casper, Sulzberger, Ponzi, and Ginanni - with Giaux clinging on)
The 3rd KoM also goes to Roux, ahead of Koren and Ljungblad
The groups come together, with 2 casualties. Giaux is predictably one, but Casper also could not keep up - he can only watch with Ponzi just infront of him, potentially riding into a race lead
Nocentini leads the way, he is another well placed rider after his Stage 3 win
And it seems Ponzi isnt going to have it easy, he is struggling off the back with Sulzberger
A determined Sulzberger pulls them back though, after a 5km chase
We're closing in on the finish now, and Gregory Rast attacks!
He leads into the final kilometre - can he finally end Ernst&Young's barren season? They have had no wins - not even a jersey
Grabovski leads the chase, sprinters Gaywood and Freire not ideally placed to be a threat
And he does it! Gregory Rast wins for Ernst & Young!!
Grabovski takes 2nd, Koren 3rd - Simone Ponzi will take over the race lead.
Casper just couldnt keep up with the front group, but still finishes ahead of the peloton that is led by Petacchi, Swift and Rowe
