166km of hills to Qabala today, Hategeka and Diggle lead a field of puncheurs as the favourites today, but the stage could also present an opportunity for the GC men, with both De la Cruz and Tvetcov being the best of them and surely interested in gaining time.
A bit of a gentlemen’s agreement to survive the descent with no casualties means the break doesn’t begin to attack until the bottom of the first climb, where some stage favourites surprisingly enter the fray, as the move to stick contains:
Diggle
Passalacqua
Karwowski
Kasa
Bøchman
Adamou
Still 88km left but Timmer isn’t afraid to make a move, crossing the gap of a minute to the break, who have been on a tight leash all day, where he has his teammate Kasa, winner of the first intermediate sprint, waiting for him.
No competition for whatsoever for Timmer on the only categorised climb today as he slips into the provisional KOM lead. Diggle and Passalacqua take the minor placings.
There was no way the peloton was letting that move stay away and the combined chasing of Kraftwerk and Vivacom sees the break shut down with still 70km left to race.
Surprisingly nobody is interested in attacking after the break was pulled back and MOL leads the pack to the final climb with 7km to go.
Still no attacks with 3km left, Antón sets a blistering pace and the group is slowly whittling down behind him.
1.5km left as the climb begins to drop off, Antón still leads the pack but now has Tvetcov, De la Cruz and Pedrero vying to come around him. Behind them Salinas and Hategeka try to stay on their wheels!
The situation is similar as we enter the final kilometre, despite the lack of banner due to the organisers misplacing it somewhere down the road. Antón still leads the same riders but now Schoffmann leads Garby into the front rows, with Pomoshnikov on their heels, after Gonzalez Cortes begins to let a gap open.
Antón remains in control with only 500 metres left! He can’t slow down though, as Tvetcov and De la Cruz duel it out metres behind him, with the former ahead for now. Pedrero also tries to remain in this race but seems to be fading!
A dominant victory for Antón after his team’s mid-stage antics and controlling the pace single-handedly for the latter part of the climb. Tvetcov holds off and De la Cruz for second, while Pedrero who badly cracked in the final metres keeps 4th place.Behind them, Salinas beats Hategeka to 5th and Garby takes 7th from Pozzo in the throw for the line. While Gonzalez Cortes and Schoffmann finish the top 10.
1 minute later Battaglin and Diggle finish together, disappointing day for both as the former had GC ambitions and the latter despite joining the break, likely had hopes for the stage win.
