And now for the final stage of the race that should decide the overall. There are 12 cobbled sections over 188km and winning this stage should pretty much guarantee victory. The bookmakers are tipping: Gorik Gardeyn Rik Kavsek Arturs Ansons Elia Rigotto Thomas Berkhout Daniel Thorsen Antonio Bucciero Marco Fabbri
So it appears that the bookmakers think that it may well come down to a bunch sprint. Do they know something that the riders don’t? Are the short cobbled sections not going to be enough to break up the race?
The first five men to attack on this rainy day are: Pajari Prestia Rincon Dang Wellens
Wellens is a real threat here, being one of the better cobblers out on course today. Clearly his background in cyclocross means he likes the rough weather today. Seeing a real chance, more riders try to come across: Machac Hasnaoui Norris Girardi De Souza Colin
But these 6 are dragged back in because Colin is a real threat over the rough terrain. The next ones who try are largely the same. Machac, Hasnaoui, Norris and De Souza try again and are joined by Debusschere, who is also a threat. These 5 manage to pull out a bit of a gap and are joied by three more riders: Geluykens Van Hoecke Colin
Colin clearly isn’t shy to give it another go. These three pace themselves up to the other 5, and then the two bigger groups combine in to one group of 13 leaders just before the first sprint. At the sprint it is Pajari who takes the bonus seconds, ahead of Prestia and then Wellens.
But that doesn’t put an end to the attacks, as three more riders work their way up to the leaders. They are: Kupeshov Girardi Harvey
16 riders up front with a couple that are real threats is just too much for the pack to handle, and at the start of the first cobbled section the gap is down to 51”.
By the end of this section everyone is back together and a new break must be formed. The first man to give it a go is Spasic.
He is quickly joined by 6 more rides, and they are: Girardi Jasniskiewicz Colin Norris Rincon Sribar
Colin just won’t say no to being in the break today and is clearly feeling really strong.
Going over the second early cobbled section, Van Hoecke and Dang start to come across the gap as Colin comes to the front of the lead group. Neither of them are hugely powerful so they struggle a bit to get across quickly.
Coming through the middle section of the race, with a gap of 2’46”, the serious attacks begin. First out of the gate are Veyt and Robert. Robert could certainly be a real threat to the big favourites if he gets a good lead.
Duclos-Lassalle and Hassink are the next riders who look to try something.
Not wanting to miss out, Nieuwsblad send forward Hovelynck in the hope of marking the breakaway.
With 70km left to race all the riders out front except for Hovelynck have joined up. The gap has remained remarkably steady, with no one really increasing the pace in the group but the break not able to pull out much more. Suddenly, the pack splits, leaving behind 40 riders, including quite a number of sprinters.
Sensing an opportunity, Van de Ginst tries to get out of the bunch. Maybe this was why Hovelynck was sent up the road? Regardless, Van der Ginst isn’t given any room to move and is brought back into the bunch.
At the second intermediate sprint, Hassink takes the points ahead of Robert and Veyt. Clearly the Delhaize duo of Van Hoecke and Girardi are on the rivet and they are both dropped from the lead group.
With 33 to go, the leaders enter the second last cobbled stage. Hovelynck has caught the two Delhaize riders. The situation is:
1’05”
1’31”
Leaders --->
Chasers --->
Peleton (69)
Hovelynck drops the other two riders and carries on alone, but he too is caught with 22km to go. The gap is down to 1’48”.
But with 14km to go, and the gap at 1’07”, Van de Ginst once again seeks to shake things up as he attacks out of the bunch towards the leaders.
He joins into the leaders just as the final cobbled section starts. There is 10km to go, with a 54” lead it could go either way at this point.
Then as the peleton reaches the final section, there is a massive crash!
There is a massive crash and only 25 riders manage to avoid it, and not many of the favourites are in this new group. Unsurprisingly, with all the confusion and the slowed pace, the gap to the break starts to widen. It looks like the winner will come from the front 11.
The order of the first 7 riders in the sprint is as follows: Hassink Van der Ginst Duclos-Lassalle Veyt Sribar Robert Colin
The winner of this sprint will take the overall thanks to the bonus seconds, so there is everything to play for.
From a fair way out, Robert comes around Sribar at speed, with Colin on his wheel. Robert has so much speed and he is looking fantastic!
Hassink starts to seriously fade and Van der Ginst launches his own burst for the line. His legs are clearly much fresher as he quickly comes past Robert.
And the sprint proves decisive as Van der Ginst takes the day for the unstoppable Nieuwsblad team.
Veyt had a great late sprint and came in 2nd, and Robert will have to be content with a 3rd place. Colin is 4th, followed by Duclos-Lassalle, then Hassink, Sribar is 7th , Norris comes through 8th, Janiszkiewicz is 9th and Rincon rounds out the top 10.
A minute later the shattered bunch comes through, with Chedhomme leading them home.
A great result once again for Het Nieuwsblad, and AMEX will be pleased with a 2nd place overall on the flat. UPC could only manage a 5th on GC for Hassink. Pivovarna is rewarded with the team competition.
