chrono 1: 7.58 (beating Rogers by two seconds)
finish: 20.58 (beating Rogers by 11 seconds)
Incredible ride from the Dutchman!
British TT champ Bibby has been quiet in the road stages so far.
Chrono 1: 8.08 (10 seconds down on Reus)
Finish: 21.25 (27 seconds down on Reus)
It is an okay ride from him but he now needs to ride more aggressively on the subsequent road stages.
Final Oz rider Bobridge.
Chrono 1: 8.05 (7 seconds down on Reus)
finish: 20.17 (19 seconds down on Reus)
And of course what of race leader Ignatiev (Metinvest)?
Chrono 1: 7.59 (one second down on Reus)
finish: 21.01 (three seconds down on Reus)
So another missed out TT stage win for Ignatiev but in general a good day extending his lead on almost everyone. Bobridge is now in a strong second with Monfort holding off Craven. Reus meanwhile moves into the GC top 10.
Stage results
Oz had four riders in top six, but unfortunately none in top 2. A bit disappointing from the Brits who as usual get owned by the Aussies!
