The sprint is set to be two-horse race between Lutsyshyn and Polivoda. One has to hire amateurs to fetch bottles, the other has nine professional teammates.
Three amateurs in the lead with two laps of five kilometer to go. Gap to the peloton is 35 seconds.
The bell for the final lap, the leaders still holding down a gap but the peloton edging ever closer.
They're caught, and at that moment Grabovski attacks.
Grabovski's attempt was brave but has been reeled back in the final kilometer. Polivoda leads the sprint, Lutsyshyn blocked and not yet up to speed.
The damage was done there. Oleksandr Polivoda wins the Ukrainian Championship and proves once and for all that professional bottle carriers are better than amateurs.
Zmorka won last year. Can he do that again this year.
Krasnoperov lays down the marker at 1h10'58.
Ratiy starts off with a three second deficit at the first checkpoint. He only loses two more seconds over the rest of the course, thus five seconds down for provisional second place.
Grabovski seems to pay for his efforts yesterday, as he falls short of Krasnoperov's time by four seconds.
A strong ride from Golovash, taking more than two minutes off the best time. 1h08'40 is the time to beat for Zmorka.
And he does not disappoint, beating Golovash by nearly a minute to win in 1h07'46.
Marlen Zmorka secures himself of another year in yellow and blue.
