Paris-Tours is the longest race of the season. It is mainly flat but some steep short hills are on the route, so it will likely end in a mass sprint finish. Whoever wins this race has to have a great sprinting power and a great endurance. There are lots of riders who fit in this profile but only one will win.
Di Nucci, Diggle, Poulhiès, Hunt, Neves, Serrano and Cardoso Española are the first to attack in this stage and they are allowed to make the breakaway.
Jack Wolfskin, Vespa, NOS and IKEA are the teams that are willing to lead the peloton in the first part of the race.
The breakaway riders are sharing the work. 150km to go - 7'10''.
Jack Wolfskin, Vespa and 100% Me are cutting the gap as with 100km to the finish, it is just above 3 minutes.
The gap keeps falling, the breakaway riders are already in sight, but they still have an advantage of 2 minutes and 10 seconds to the peloton with 60km yet to run.
Sulzberger, Backstedt, Longo Borghini and Dall'Antonia attack from the peloton right after.
Serrano, Di Nucci, Neves and Hunt attack as soon as Dall'Antonia bridges to the front group.
And behind the leading four, there is a chasing group composed by Dall'Antonia, Poulhiès, Backstedt, Sulzberger, Cardoso Española, Diggle and Longo Borgini.
Sulzberger was the strongest of the chasing group and Serrano was the strongest of the leading group. The Aussie bridged up to the Spanish in a hill and they get an advantage over the peloton, as the other breakaway riders were caught.
The duo is a minute in front of the peloton, with 20km to the finish line.
They are caught with 8km to go. Mass sprint it will be, if no attacks are going to be made.
A train is starting to hit the front. In the far side of the road, Galdos leads Bongiorno and Markov is following the Molteni riders. 5000 meters!
3km to go and nobody matches Galdos' lead-out. Markov thinks it's better to ride solo and leaves Bongiorno's wheel. In the back, the main sprinters have no help! Mohs is alone and he is followed by Goss and Napolitano.
Mohs was able to cut the gap, but Bongiorno is leading with 2 kilometers left.
Bongiorno and Markov are clearly in the lead in the last kilometer. Casper is leading the rest after a clear loss of speed by Mohs.
Markov is gaining on Bongiorno!
And the Russian is able to pass! He wins Paris-Tours! Bongiorno gets the second place. Closing the podium is Casper. Goss and Napolitano were pre-race favourites but they are only 4th and 5th, respectively.
