The Tour de l'Avenir opens with a flat stage. Favourites are Brits Luke Rowe and Adam Blythe, plus Aussies Leigh Howard and Michael Matthews. Irishman Sam Bennett aswell. Flat stages are going to be very anglo-friendly!
A couple of early breakaway attempts failed, before a 10 man group finally got clear.
Quaade La Lavandier Arabuli McLay Kuphaldt Vlatos Fukata Jungels Durbridge Andersen
Jurka Arabuli beat McLay and Jungels at the first intermediate sprint - giving the Armavia rider the virtual lead of the race!
Soon after we have the only King of the Mountains prime of the day - the winner gets the jersey. Quaade, Fukata, Jungels, Andersen and Arabuli all go for it.
And Hiroyuki Fukata takes it.
With 20km to go, the Milka led peloton are closing in. But Jungels leads attacks as the break splits up.
The 2nd sprint is just 2km away, and Dan McLay uses it to catch Jungels and win the sprint - ahead of Fukata and Arabuli
They keep trying to stay away, but Milka are having none of it. The sprint is on.
But this is a race for the inexperienced and many of those aiming at the sprint have not really had the opportunity to compete in many mass sprints before.
The guilty rider here is Michael Matthews, who smashes into the ground, bringing others with him.
A road block is caused. Including Matthews, 24 riders actually crash - but others, including Andrew Talansky, are held up and likely to lose time now aswell.
The full list of those who crashed is:
Aberlardo Ablenado California Giant Berry Farms-Specialized David Talbott California Giant Berry Farms-Specialized Amaro Antunes Cerne Bruno Borges Cerne Luis Afonso Cerne Filip Rada East Block Giuseppe Fonzi Ferrari - ERG Michael Matthews Festina - Conec Mikel Landa Festina - Conec Panagiotis Vlatos Festina - Conec King Lok Cheung Oz Cycling Project Michael Vink Oz Cycling Project Indalecio Lagrou Team Armavia Manuel Palumbo Team Armavia Alfredo Balloni Team B&O Jan Polanc Team Bpost Jasper Stuyven Team Bpost Mike De Bie Team Bpost Daniel Vesely Team Rothaus - Aegon Franz Schiewer Team Rothaus - Aegon Maximillian Schachmann Team Rothaus - Aegon Adam Semple Wikipedia Serafin José Blanco Wikipedia
Its particularly bad news for Bruno Borges - and the Control Team team leader Julian Kern. Their race is over - nightmare for Kern in his one race to impress after being snubbed by the various German CT teams this season.
Time to focus on the sprint though. Hosek has strung things out, and we're almost ready to go.
Reinhardt Howard Blythe Rowe Bennett Yamamoto Schoch McLay Zabel Coutinho Stallaert Steigmiller Kirsch Kennaugh Sagan
Reinhardt launches the sprint, and Howard tries to catch out his rivals by launching on the final turn - but theres still a long way to the finish line.
Also forced to go early is Zabel - he had the wheel of McLay who is clear tired from his breakaway efforts, and couldnt keep up with Schoch in front of him.
Up front, only Blythe and Rowe have been able to live with Howard's pace, but the Aussie has gone too early, the stage win is heading to Britain
Blythe vs Rowe. Rowe has the speed, but Blythe has the headstart.
It's going to be tight!
Luke Rowe takes the victory ... just!
Blythe is 2nd, with Howard forced to settle for 3rd.
Then we have Bennett, Yamamoto, Stallaert, Schoch, Coutinho, Zabel and Reinhardt completing the Top 10.
Talansky's group loses 4 minutes, to confirm that Wikipedia's GC hopes are all on Pinot, while those who actually crashed (except Matthews) lose 5 minutes.
