Stage 2 and we move on from Longford, riding southwards to Nenagh, cutting through the centre of Ireland.
Yesterday showed that only a 3 man breakaway would be acceptable, and today there is a 3 man move going clear. Talacka, van den Berg and ... Pinot!
But the attacks don't stop, and cobbled specialist Kulppi powers across to the breakaway solo.
More riders too: Zaraliev and Van Zandbeek come very close; Rucigaj also has an attempt, but the 'Valio touch' is required to break through, and their former rider Lindau is able to make it a breakaway of five.
A key focus for all is the intermediate sprint, the opportunity for all riders to secure themselves a potential GC placing.
Lindau led it out but faded, and it is Kulppi who takes the 3 seconds. 2 for van den Berg and 1 for Talacka.
Podium Ambition were determined to keep the breakaway in check today, and nobody else was willing to show quite the same urgency. Morey did a lot of early work, with then particular credit for their stronger support options of Ivanov and De Vos. They really buried themselves out there, and had the gap down to 1'25 as far out as 42km to go.
Not long after, the team had burnt all of their domestique matches - with only 6 in the race after all. Kraftwerk and Carrefour sent a couple of riders forwards in their place, but the gap does then start go out slightly.
Glancing through the peloton just over 20km out, two of the top riders from yesterday are both sat a long way back. Nelson and Feiereisen, 2nd and 4th on Stage 1 and therefore GC. Consigned to the 'naughty step' after outperforming their leaders? Neither is going to be involved in the action today.
And look at this with 16km to go, Kraftwerk Man Machine have swarmed to the front with all 8 riders in a line.
Soon the breakway is nearly caught but sensing a 2% incline, Pinot goes on the attack with 10km to go.
This reinvigorates the fading motivation of the break, they all get back up to Pinot and keep going.
Meanwhile some of the sprinters don't seem to know what to do. Goss has decided to follow Willwohl, despite the fact that the German is leading the relay train. Roelandts, Ewan and Vantomme also in line.
Talacka, van den Berg and Kulppi hung on inside the final 5 kilometres, but Kraftwerk do bring the brekaway to an end.
Terasaki has just pulled off and now Gough seems to be doing similar, leaving Kurth, Maikin, Kreder and Cavendish.
Perhaps sensing the sprinters on his wheel, Willwohl dropped back after his earlier turn. Roelandts jumped across to Cavendish instead, but Goss is now further back.
Keukeleire has moved onto the wheel of Vantomme, with Goss then getting back on, followed by Guerao Drapac, Stauff and Lander.
But suddenly the breakaway trio swing across to the middle of the road and cause
chaos! Unacceptable behaviour from them, and the outcome is that all of those just named, Vantomme included, have lost ground.
Gough swings back into action to lead on that group of 6 (Maikin, Kreder, Cavendish, Roelandts, Ewan) and in that decisive moment, there are almost certainly only three remaining candidates for today's win.
Vantomme is left to start a desperate sprint with 3km to go. Ji closest to him, Keukeleire also sprinting.
Time now for Kreder to deliver the leadout that counts. They couldn't ask for a better position.
Netia are all over the peloton here with Franczak alongside Vantomme, plus Hansen and Rekita. But there's no teamwork in evidence. Mareczko is the foremost Lierse rider, with Guerao and Goss seen behind Rekita; then Lo Cicero, Lander and Drapac near to Hansen.
Final kilometre and Ewan gets the jump on Cavendish!
Lo Cicero now leads the pack, ahead of Drapac and the Fablok rider is actually Guardini.
Cavendish now responds to Ewan, going head to head!
Mark Cavendish wins the stage! What a man, what a machine! Kraftwerk really earned that one, to really make amends for the opening stage.
Ewan takes 2nd. Roelandts never really threatened but his positioning earns him 3rd - and a further reward for Kraftwerk as Kreder takes 4th.
Lo Cicero takes 5th place, holding off Guarnieri and a fast finishing Goss.
8th for Stauff, while Guardini is 9th and team leader Mohs is eventually able to come through for a bonus second in 10th place. Guerao, Bonifazio, Drapac, Te Brake and Lander follow as Keukeleire and Vantomme really faded.
Goss retains the race lead, with a 3 second advantage over Ewan, 6 seconds on Cavendish, and Nelson now 13 seconds back in 4th. Lo Cicero, Roelandts, Vantomme, Kreder, Feiereisen and Guarnieri completing the Top 10. Keukeleire in 11th is the last rider within 25 seconds of the lead.
Goss leads the Points as well. No climbs so Sirironnachai keeps the KoM lead. Ewan naturally remains the Top U25 rider, extending his gap over Willwohl and Yechezkel. Bonus seconds lift van den Berg and Talacka into the Top 5.

Teams
Kraftwerk were clearly the best team on the day and that did show through in the classification ranking. Netia and Indosat the next best two teams today, followed by Lierse and Adastra.
Only being the 7th best, Carrefour lose their lead and drop to 3rd. Netia up to 2nd, but it's a commanding lead for Kraftwerk now.
