And we go on with yet another sprinter stage.
Kragh Andersen & Roelandts the successful ones with top sprinter Ciolek twice on the podium but no win yet. Can he change this today?
4 riders in todays break, which right now already are on the Cat.4 with 56km to go and a gap of 3'20.

1500m to go and Aker looking strong today as Scully takes over now after Dakteris has really made everyone else suffer. Roelandts somehow was able to switch trains and found the perfect wheel, basically being the only one able to follow!
Goss with Speirs ahead, Kragh Andersen, Reinhardt adn Vanderbiest follow.
800m and Indosat is back in the game sitting behind Roelandts now and also Kragh Andersen, Lavoine, Lander, Granjel Cabrera, Bonifazio do so.
On the right Reinhardt for quite some time in the wind already and on the far right Vanderbiest also starts the sprint with Schorn still a bit in front of him.
300m and Ciolek vs. Roelandts it seems.
The other sprinters are all on one line basically.
And Ciolek finall gets his win! After 3rd and 2nd he now adds 1st!
Roelandts must settle with 2nd while Vanderbiest gets 3rd ahead of Kragh Andersen and Lavoine!
Goss only 7th behind Lander.
