HC classic, mountain classic, Machado classic?
Three riders went clear early, with no one else being allowed to join them:
Grau
Smit
Watson
build a lead up to almost ten minutes, still in the first third of the race..
Let's keep it short though: the peloton - with teams like BPost, Bonsucro, Rothaus and Prio sharing the work - wouldn't have any problems to control this gap and swallows the breakaway group already 18km before finish, just at the bottom of the final ascend!
Prio setting the pace then and causing a first notable split 14km to the line:
Baltazar pulling Machado strong here, with
Contador
Keizer
Sella and Rodrigues
opening up a gap on the bunch now!
What first looked like maybe a "random" little gap, may become a crucial move actually. Those six established a notable gap on a next group with favorites!
12km before finish, Contador and Keizer keep pushing it and drop Machado/Sella that way!
Eastman trying to bridge across group Machado
Van den Broeck
Berhane
Marquez
Panayotov
Cataldo and Maillet
Quintana
further 20" in arrears, with still some big guns like Nazaret or Nerz in danger to miss out on those selections!
Contador looks very strong, now dropping Keizer as we still have about 10km to go!
Group Machado already 50" behind..
..and now joined by Eastman, who keeps pacing after catching up to Machado and Sella. The latters' two helpers Rodrigues/Baltazar now dropping back.
In the next bigger group, Nerz, Augustyn and Gomez Marchante managed to catch up..
Biggest names missing those groups so far: Nazaret and Samwel, as well as Talansky!
It's anything but an action-packed race now, as all those groups just do their pace, trying to hang on with the next riders ahead:
Keizer can't really counter Contador's diesel and so he's still about 30" down with less than 3km remaining..
Machado/Eastman/Sella already a minute behind Keizer as well, and also the 13-men-group with VDB and Marquez (with Nazaret yet, too) is another minute in arrears.
No sign of a late attack here, it may come down to who has anything left for a sprint decision for the Top-10 placings here..
In the meantime, Talansky/Aru/Olivier broke clear fom the peloton and may at least pull a Top-20 result that way..
Top-10? Top-20? Who cares?
Contador crushed the competition without really launching a powerful attack here. The Spaniard dropped all others with Keizer at his side and went solo already 10km outside the finish. Huge ride then.
+ 39" Keizer, who will be happy to finish as runner-up today
+ 1'45" Eastman, Machado and Sella
Kinda strange race for Machado in particular. When Baltazar pulled such a strong early sector in the climb, we expected something bigger from Machado today. He couldn't follow Contador/Keizer and kept pacing with Sella and a strong going Eastman then.
+ 2'59" Berhane, Cataldo, Nazaret, Nerz
Berhane with a decent 6th, though not showing any sign of aggressive racing - like most others today..
+ 3'18" for a group with Quintana as 10th and Van den Broeck as a disappointing 12th eventually
Also Marquez won't be happy about finishing 16th here..
Local favorite Samwel hadn't the legs today either and comes in as 38th inside the bunch.. Kudus best of Kenya Airways as 26th.
