Break looks to be 8 man in a bit. Controllable if Bora wants to, otherwise pretty lame break for the win I guess.
 
Red Bull raced like madmen for an hour, and when an actual controllable group goes clear they let it all go without a care in the world. Here's hoping Patxi Vila sends them out to the front again when the gap goes above 5.

Surprised Bora and Lotto don't use just make an agreement and send 1 rider to the front

There's quite a bit of greenery and even a river (yes please!) today, so mercifully it doesn't look like they are riding in the middle of a desert again.

Nairoman for the win! (Eh, he may be small, old, and way past his prime, but he took out Groves yesterday, so don't underestimate the Nairoman! lol)

Patxi Villa should know you can't control a dangerous breakaway with just 1 rider.

It's what Villa failed at himself in 2005 up towards the Stelvio against your eponym!

Woods has good legs, it is a finish for him, but I doubt Israel can actually get that break back. Not gonna happen with one guy.

Interesting developement, Isreal at the front and they have some strong guys for the finish. Beyond me that Lotto doesn't help them out, why are they here if they dont?

yes, Woods had to stop for 1 1/2 minutes at the beginning of the steep part.

What has Riley Sheehan done to deserve this? He should definitely get first dips on the ice tub today.
