It's the final stage here in Morocco and it's for the Sprinters. Will Degenkolb or Kragh Andersen be able to win another stage or will one of the others manage to find success. The green jersey will be decided here today. It should be easy enough for the GC riders to avoid trouble today.
A relatively small breakaway here as only 4 riders manage to get away from the Peloton. With 150km to go, the gap is 1'59. Antonijevic Yzeiraj Boutopoulos Mosca
100km for the leading 4 and the gap is 3'26.

Only 10km for the Peloton and the breakaway is well within sight at 32".

800m to go and Degenkolb still has Contreras as a lead-out. Zabel with limited support and coming from deep on the opposite side. Kragh Andersen, Holloway, Moser and Hayekawa best placed to cause an upset.
400m to go and Degenkolb looks like he should have enough in the tank here. The trio of Holloway, Moser and Kragh Andersen are closest to him while Zabel is almost level with them on the right-hand side.
