A very similar stage to yesterday although a bit longer so it may be a bit more of a test of stamina and resistance today.
Many of the same favourites. A successful day for the decorated American yesterday but can he repeat this feat or will we see a different stage winner?
Another rainy day here in the Netherlands so it's going to be a long, wet one for the riders.
No settled breakaway yet with only 3 riders just over a minute clear as they came up to the first intermediate sprint. Juul-Jensen wins it with Morales Ortega 2nd and Koch 3rd.
Just under 150km still remaining and we have our 6 man breakaway. Their gap is 2'28. Dahlberg, Koch, Morales Ortega, Horvat, Juul-Jensen, Garibian.
76km still to go and the gap is 3'14. Koch wins the 2nd of 2 intermediate sprints with Juul-Jensen 2nd and Morales Ortega 3rd.
With 30km remaining the gap is down to 1'33 and beginning to come down a bit faster now with multiple teams working at the front of the Peloton.
The high pace in the Peloton is threatening splits!
The breakaway is swept up by the Peloton which contains only 61 riders with groups only bike lengths behind that may still make it back. 10km remaining.
3.5km to go and we have the BNZ riders on the right-hand-side in support for Rajovic. On the left we have Oktal on the left for Wippert followed by other sprinters.
2.5km and this is how it's looking for those ahead of yesterday's stage winner.

Under the kite and Altanzul leads Rajovic. Wippert and the train of riders behind him move onto the wheel of Rajovic.
300m to go and Rajovic has a narrow lead over Wippert. Guardini, Boudat and Krieger looking most likely to snatch the win off this duo.
It is very close on the line but Thomas Boudat wins it with Guardini 2nd and Krieger 3rd.
Wippert takes 4th with Itami 5th, Bogdanovics 6th and Rajovic 7th. Bertilsson takes 8th, Boivin 9th and Losch rounding out the Top 10.
Gaps Galore and some riders will no doubt be losing a lot of time today!
54 riders finish in the first group.
25 riders come in at 1'19.
37 riders lose 2'32.
The remaining riders come in at 3'36.
Sterobo remains in the the GC lead with the same gap. Two of yesterday's Top 10 lost time today. Boudat moves into the lead in the Points. Erdenebat takes the lead in the U25s. Jura remain in the lead in the Teams.
