9 Kilometres to go. PINOT is already on the "soft" part of the climb.

QUINTANA is really near him.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

CHAVES PARTEEE!!!!

LANDA TRIES TO RESPOND.... After the Euskaltel climber is BMC with Van Garderen.

Many riders have connected with the peloton again. The rhytm of Mathias Frank is reachable.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

¡¡¡CHAVES HAS OPENED A GAP!!!

MIKEL LANDA IS AFTER HIM.

AND THEN RUJANO.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

¡¡¡VAN GARDEREN ISOLATED!!!

The group broken into pieces one more time...

CHAVES is reducing distance!! SUPERPERFORMANCE of the colombian.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

PINOT and QUINTANA are relaying... They are going to be the winners of the day.

The contrast, TEJAY VAN GARDEREN, in crisis.

¡¡HE CANT FOLLOW THE RHYTM OF GEORGE BENNET, ALSO ANACONA IS PASSING HIM!!!

 

[Jason_Mercier]

In the chasing group TALANSKY AND DOMBROWSKI ARE COOPERATING FOR DEFEAT TVG.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

2 kms to go for QUINTANA and PINOT... WHAT AN EXBIBITION. Their pace is unachievable for the rest.... except CHAVES.
