We're off for the first time in Costa Rica! The weather is bright and sunny with no wind. A perfect day for racing.
A couple of kilometers in and already there are no fewer than 10 riders dropped. They are Richeze, Manokov, Cherel, Laton, Passalacqua, Chaoufi, Gaday, Ruffoni, Haedo and Doull.
Soon after, the break of the day is formed, with
Tatarinov
Hiratsuka
Bagot
Baltazar
Even more riders are dropped!
The peloton cross the top of the first climb with 112 riders. The break's lead is 3'54".
The peloton swell in size on the downhill. The break has extended their lead to 5'10" at the bottom of the descent.
The break reach the top of the second climb with a lead of 4'31".
With 60 km to go, the peloton are on the descent. Ferrero, Berg, Eddie Stobart and Kraftwerk have taken up pace-making duties. Their deficit is down to 3'47".
Coming up to 35 km to go, things have calmed down a bit. The peloton have slowly eaten away at the break's lead, which now stands at 1'55".
20 km to go as the peloton start the climb to the finish. Almost on cue, the rain arrives! Ferrero, SPAR, Eritel and Orange leading the chase.
14 km left. Baltazar and Bagot are caught. The peloton has exactly a 100 riders. The two remaining breakaway riders have a 40" advantage.
And now, we have snow! I never knew it snowed in Costa Rica!!
10 km. Denifl and Sicard attack. They catch up to the break but soon they're all back to the peloton.
Denifl goes again, this time with Berhane. 7 km left. The rain has stopped thankfully.
There is a small group of riders who have got away from the peloton in chase of the attacking duo. Denifl has distanced Berhane up ahead.
With 5 km to go, the situation is as follows:
E1 -> Denifl
E2 (18" ) -> Berhane
E3 (30" ) -> Hiratsuka, Marquez, Nazaret, Maillet, Choi, Pinot, Henao, Shikai, Barguil, Quintana, Intxausti
Peloton (59" ) -> 81 riders, including Sicard, Valls, Eastman, Brenes, Kiserlovski, Penasa
(E3)
(Peloton)
3 km. Berhane is caught by the Henao/ Intxausti group. Denifl fights on.
But the battle is lost just 500 meters later as he is caught. Valls and Penasa have attacked out of the peloton and is chasing down the lead group.
The CT duo make the gap. We have 15 riders together at the front going into the final 2 km.
Marquez is leading them forward. Berg, Ferrero and Meiji have two riders each in this group.
Marquez moves over for Intxausti to take the reigns.
The peloton trails by 53". It looks like Sicard, Brenes, Eastman and Kiserlovski have missed the decisive move. 1.2 km left.
700 meters. Intxausti launches his sprint but Marquez stays glued to his wheel. Quintana has got himself into a good position.
Marquez now leads Intxausti. The duo has a small gap to the others. Denifl is fading fast!
Nazaret moves up through the pack as we reach 200 meters to go. Maillet is tired on the right. Pinot and Penasa have got themselves into a good position. Choi is falling back. Hiratsuka has been dropped completely from this group.
And Marquez takes it! He was the strongest in the group and is the deserving winner today.
Intxausti just about holds on for 2nd ahead of the charging Nazaret. A great race for Berg Cycles! Henao has found a good outside line. Pinot has fallen back a little.
Henao rides through to take 4th from Penasa, still a great result for Kulczyk. Barguil takes 6th...
...with Pinot 7th and Valls 8th. A very good day for two leading CT teams. Shikai and Berhane complete the top 10.
Quintana is 11th, followed by Choi. Maillet did a lot of work in this group and hence slipped at the end to 13th. Denifl, completely sapped, is 14th.
Hiratsuka just about holds on for 15th, ahead of Cataldo. A bad day for Eastman, Kiselovski and Sicard.
A tough race as 23 riders failed to finish!
Marquez takes the applause on top of the podium!
