Looks like it will be between the 3 riders out in front. Likely in a sprint.

Almost certain now that he will be caught. The chasing duo work together well.

EDIT: Maybe not. Gap going out a bit again.

Someone should have told the producers that showing the finish of the rest of the top-10 is more interesting than 7 replays of someone finishing solo.

Although tbf I shouldn't complain too much, because on the whole this has been insanely good coverage for a .2.

A Total rider attacks from the peloton. Could it be Brunel?
It was indeed.

You didn't enjoy the close up of him removing snot from his nose and upper lip?

Chumil was probably not the best rider to have with you in the last kilometers. Even I look more aero on a bike than him (I hope).

He has the build of someone who would be not out of place as a boxer or weightlifter. Even so, he held on over the climbs.

Bling looks like a good bet for Saturday's Ruta de la Cerámica. Shame De Lie pulled out as the uphill finish would have suited him. Otherwise what will UAE do now that Hirschi has moved on. Hope that Christen or Covi can replace him?

Likely they'll try with Morgado, although Baroncini isn't slow either. But the finish should suit Morgado very well.

With 60km to go it's down to three minutes for the four in the break.
The Lidl Trek Dev rider is called Nils Aebersold. Reminds me of a rider from 20-25 years ago.

It's his father, Niki Aebersold, former Rabobank and Phonak rider (among others, think Post Swiss as well). If i recall correctly he was a specialist of hills / mid mountain who especially shone in swiss races. A bit of an Alexandre Moos, worst climber but better puncheur. Gosh, we don't have those riders nowadays.

Saddened that Urko isn't here to go back to back on the real opening weekend of European cycling, however his boy Pau Miquel is here to fly the flag and he is fast.

Cofidis obviously hoping Aranburu does well for some of those sweet UCI points (125 for the winner today).
