Finally the stage that will decide the race, a tough short route with a killer final climb. Antón is in the leader’s jersey, but on equal time with Pomoshnikov. Garby, De la Cruz, Tvetcov and Salinas as well as a host of other climbers aren’t far off though, and will want to have a say in who wins this race.
A lot of blue in the break today, as four riders escape the pack. The move contains
Davison
Ilias
Scarponi
Tiernan-Locke
Van Leijen
Tiernan-Locke easily secures the points on the first climb. Ilias and Davison take the minor placings while Van Leijen is left behind already.
Further behind Walsleben attempts to bridge to this group, but it looks unlikely as he ends up in no-mans land in between the two group.
Once again there’s one rider dominating the climb, Davison must’ve saved his energy for this as he slides into the provisional KOM lead. Tiernan-Locke beating Ilias to second this time.
The break reaches the climb without Scarponi they only have a 1 minute gap to the peloton though, so they will have trouble staying away much longer.
The climb has only just begun, but Garby isn’t afraid of a long effort and launches an attack! Tvetcov is the only one interested in following immediately as the other favourites look at each other.
Garby is really gunning for it! He reels back the break almost immediately while the pack behind thins with Timmer desperately chasing at the head.
With roughly 10km left we get a clearer picture of the composition of the chase group:
Antón, Timer
Pomoshnikov
De la Cruz
Salinas, Davison
Krasnoperov
Schoffmann
Tiernan-Locke
Pozzo
Not sure how much longer the two breakaway riders will stay on for though.
Our two leader’s gap is still stable at 40 seconds as we enter the final 5km but the chase group aren’t giving in!
The leaders begin to stare at each other though and soon their gap is gone! At 3km to go this leaves us with a group of 9 elite climbers where all but Krasnoperov are within 20 seconds of the GC lead!
De la Cruz makes his move with 2000 metres left! Tvetcov can follow, so can Garby but Salinas lets a gap open! He isn’t fully done though and takes Antón and Pozzo in an attempt to rejoin the attackers!
De la Cruz still leads with just 1 kilometre left! Tvetcov and Garby bite at his heels, the former bent over his bars, as for the latter, is that a smile or a grimace? There’s a small gap to chasers, that could be closed in moment if the leaders hesitate!
500 metres later and De la Cruz begins to sprint, Garby draws level, Tvetcov hangs on behind!
De la Cruz looks to have the most left though and the Dane falls away! Further back Antón leads Salinas in a frantic sprint knowing that the podium might still be open if he doesn’t lose too much time!
De la Cruz wins the stage and the 2016 Tour de Azerbaijan! Garby finishes 2nd but the time bonuses aren’t in his favour and Tvetcov will be ahead of him in the GC.
Antón is barely behind at all! But still too far back and drops to 4th in the GC. Salinas is 5th on the stage before Pozzo and a gap to Schoffmann beating Pomoshnikov, who must’ve had a bad day today and Krasnoperov in 9th. It’s over 2 minutes before the top is completed by Rienda Segura.
De la Cruz can now step up on the podium and celebrate his victory in the 2016 Tour de Azerbaijan! His patience in timing his attack perfectly really won him the race!
