Looks like Kessiakoff will win overall gc. He can do a decent time trial and Santambrogio won't take any time on him there. Another 2nd for Santambrogio it seems

TeoSheva said:Van Avermaet wins
dlwssonic said:Yea! he bloody deserves it after attacking like mad for the whole year. finally got a win good on him! he might win the points competition too. BMC doing well in july! I was thinking about how great it would be if GVA wins before i clicked on this thread but thought it would be unlikely as he is not such a great sprinter anymore. but great ride!
TeoSheva said:he won by a break of 13 riders
dlwssonic said:oops sorry. thought it was a flat stage so i thought it would be a bunch sprint. so the break got away on the last hill or at the start.

dlwssonic said:wow shocking that GVA beat bennati. might be because of bennati's injury. wonder who sparked the move. thought it was a sure bunch sprint.
TeoSheva said:in the break there was also Wagner: I think Leopard did wrong to bet on Bennati and not on Wagner!
dlwssonic said:lol, wagner could have beat GVA too. phinney for the win tomorrow! is there anyway to check out the points classification.
just some guy said:be on the front page in an hour or so
dlwssonic said:GVA should be in the lead
