Stage 5 and we are back in the mountains. Another flat finish makes it likely a group will come in together, but will Vasquez be in it?
The favourites are Carrara, Nazaret and Kiverlovski again, but will Carrara be feeling his fall yesterday?
Nozal, Howes and Orozco attack today. But Orozco is 4th, so surely won't be allowed to stay away.
Jeandesbonz, Cimolai and Hirschlein join them.
Vink, Didier, Dupont and now Voekler attacks. Clearly no one thinks Aker will be able to control this.
They all reach the front, which now has 3 WWE riders.
Hollister and Saab are being forced to work by Akers inactivity as Petrie-Armstrong attacks
Petrie-Armstrong is chased down, but the break have 2 minutes, so Orozco is comfortably in yellow. Aker are still hoping other people sort it out.
Orozco outsprints Voekler for the first sprintpoint, Howes is third.
Orozco again beats Voekler to the sprint, and Cimolai is third. The break have 6 minutes with 63km to go.
Saab and Hollsiter are chasing hard now though.
I've just noticed that Hirschlein is in the break for Aker, thus giving them a flimsy excuse if they loose their yellow jersey, anyway, he wins the first climb of the day from Howes and Voekler. This moves Voekler into the polkadots.
Voekler jumps clear to win the next climb, Hirschlein can only manage second, with Dupont third.
This climb is harder than it looks as the peloton is down to 26. And missing out is the yellow jersey!!! Vasquez hasn't been what one would call consistent.
Montenegro, Evans and Jeannesson are also with the yellow jersey, but they can't close the 1 minute gap on Hollister and Saab in the peloton.
27km to go, and the punultimate climb comes with the peloton 3 minutes down. Kiverlovski, Paulinho, Stetina, Saldarriaga and Laverde Jiminez all attack.
They all neutralise one another and no one gets clear.
20km to go and Voekler finally beats Orozco in a sprint, the climb's about to start. Howes is third.
The peloton go through 2'24" down on the break.
Navarro and Paulinho attack as soon as the climb starts. Paulinho clearly trying to reach his team mates all up the road.
Laverde Jiminez is feeling ridiculous strong as he attacks again, with Lovkvist and Kiverlovski alongside. He's really testing himself against the big boys here. Peterson is attacking. Sorry, pcm seems to have decided this sceenshot was to ridiculous to save, needless to say the attack didn't last very long
Laverde Jiminez leads the catch of Cimolai, Voekler is still pushing on at the front of the break a minute ahead
Now Navarro, Paulinho, Lovkvist and Peterson attack again. Laverde Jiminez can't respond.
Kiverlovski joins in the attack
Mercado pulls them all back, including his leader?
Orozco and Dupont have go clear of their companions.
Navarro and Lovkvist are attacking again.
Kiverlovski follows, then goes past them both
He goes past Voekler and Nozal as they come up to 10km to go.
We have a regrouping at the front as Navarro, Paulinho, Stetina and Lovkvist make it a front 9.
Kiverlovski leads Dupont and Orozco over the top.
The chase group are 50 seconds back. Laverde Jiminez cracking to create the gap, and Vasquez has joined them as well.
Orozco leads Lovkvist under the 5km to go banner
The sprint starts with 1km to go.
and despite being in the break all day, Dupont has the kick to give him victory. Amazing ride by the Pirelli man.
Orozco holds second to take yellow, with Lovkvist, Navarro and Kiverlovski next.
54 seconds later Ismali leads over Marquez as he looses his jersey today.
So Vasquez drops to 8th, and it looks to be between the top seven who have been inseperable on the road so far. It may well come down to time trials and bonus seconds to decide this one.
D2 Watch: Noval fades to a still impressive 8th. Laverde Jimenez move up another position to 13th despite missing out on the 18 man lead group.
