Only two climbs on the road today but they're bigger than anything the riders tackled yesterday!
Eleven riders get away in search of the KOM points and maybe a stage win?
Bernard Carpenter Egger Mate Conti Gaspar, Paulus Siriwardena Goossens Vinokourov Centrone
Goossens wins the first intermediate sprint ahead of Siriwardena and Conti. Their lead is four minutes.
With 80 km to go, it's only Newton Foundation doing the chasing. The pack trail by 5 minutes.
Paulus and Centrone are dropped 5 km from the summit of the first climb.
Vinokourov suffers the same fate a kilometer later.
Bernard wins the first KOM. Gaspar, Goossens, Egger and Siriwardena is the order after that. Their lead has swelled to 9 minutes, which means Gaspar is the provisional GC leader! He trailed by 5'55" at the start of the day.
Mate is dropped at the start of second climb.
Egger and Siriwardena is dropped 2 km from the summit.
Conti is dropped 500 meters from the summit.
Gaspar wins the second KOM ahead of Bernard, who wraps up the KOM as a result. The other points go to Carpenter, Goossens, Siriwardena, Egger and Conti in that order. Their lead is down to 5'20", which puts Jorgenson back into the provisional GC lead.
With 10 km to go, Gaspar, Bernard, Carpenter and Goossens are in the first group on the road, 27 seconds ahead of the group of Siriwardena, Egger and Conti. The peloton is a further 4'44" behind.
The first two groups come together with 3.5 km to go. They lead the pack by 5'25", who are down to 28 riders.
Carpenter and Bernard are at the front with the last kilometer to go.
Bernard is leading with 400 meters to go. Egger is closing! Carpenter is fading now.
It's the same with 200 meters left!
Bernard takes it! His good season continues. Egger is 2nd, Carpenter is 3rd, Gaspar is 4th and Goossens is 5th.
Conti finishes 6th ahead of Siriwardena.
Mate finishes 8th.
The other three breakaway riders were caught by the pack. Smith leads the pack home in 9th, with Jorgenson in 10th. But is that enough for the GC win?
Today's winner - Julien Bernard.
The break takes the spoils, with Gaspar missing the podium and some bonus seconds which could've helped in his quest for the GC.
