Ascending, descending, sprinting.. that's today's stage, only 50km long. Even though the KoM-sprint is rated as 2nd category, it's definitely a rather easy stage, as the climb is more long than steep.
So it should be day for the sprinters and top-favorite is Emanuele Rizza, who's teammate Leonardo Duque is also one of the strongest sprinters here. Can Die Berg Komt Er bounce back from yesterday's disastrous stage?
Other favorites will be Francisco Anton Martin, Geoffroy Lequatre, Mahdi Sohrabi or 's young gun Nick Van der Lijke.
And we have an eye on local hero Rafiki Uwimana, of course.
A short and rather flat stage is always worth a breakaway and five riders attack early: Robert Retschke, Lachlan Morton, Luis Enrique Lemus Davila, Daniel Njoroge and Daniel Ruiz.
And they stay clear as break of the day. With 43km remaining, they've built a 1'20"-gap on the pack.
The gap peaks at 1'30" with 30km to go, it looks like the peloton won't allow them to get enough of a gap to succeed in the end.
Cadbury and Iberia show their colors in the chase, so we can expect Cadbury's Michael Torckler trying to join the mix of sprint-favorites today.
Today's only KoM-sprint gives following points:
Lemus Davila (10)
Njoroge (8)
Ruiz (6)
Morton (4)
Retschke (2)
KoM-sprinter Bazhkou could relax back in the pack, as no one of those riders had points prior to this stage.
The descent never gave a real opportunity to attack the bunch and so it's a quiet race (just like yesterday).
10km before finish, the breakaway is soon to be caught and it looks like the expected mass-sprint.
3km to go: We got three trains by Iberia, Cadbury and Die Berg.
The other team's promising sprinters (and Daniel Moreno!) found a decent position at Rizza's wheel.
Duque is the last in the train for Rizza and he's in the lead with 1.3km left, followed by Moreno, who seems to be motivated to sprint for bonus-seconds!
Harrison leads out Torckler, with race-leader Eibegger and Van der Lijke at his wheel.
On the left we see the train for Anton Martin.
Moreno looks actually good with 700 meters to go, taking the leading position.
Lequatre moved forward quickly, battling against Torckler and Rizza, who now kicks!
It's neck and neck, as a young dutchman joins the mix:
Van der Lijke
Rizza
Torckler
Moreno
Lequatre
Anton Martin
Eibegger
And it's a very close finish! It's hard to say, who got it, as three riders cross the line at the same time..
..but the winner is Emanuele Rizza! Kind of a redemption for his team's failure in opening stage.
Michael Torckler and Francisco Anton Martin complete the podium. A strong finish by Martin, who might have kicked too late.
Van der Lijke 4th and a really strong Eibegger defends his points-lead (and yelllow) in style. Moreno 6th, just ahead of Furdi and a rather disappointing Lequatre. Golas and Martinez complete the Top-10.
So, with one hilly stage left, race-leader Eibegger emphasizes his ambitions here. The question is, if we'll see a more selective stage than yesterday and if yes: will the Austrian manage to defend his 1'07"-gap on the top-favorites or 18"/38"-gaps on Jumabekov and Calzati?
