The first hilly stage is here, and we have new favourites: Lobato, Ospina and Vicioso. Hopefully it will be more open than the flat stuff.
The first 11 man break is chased down
After a long chase so is the next, with 16 riders. Just 100km to go now
Everyone is happy to let Page go solo
As Petrobas lead the peloton over the first climb the gap is 4 minutes. Pagliarini and Chacon are second and third
The pace has caused 20 riders to drop off the back, including all of Alstrom, Bongiorno, Korkotyan, Thorsen, Awang, Horst and Siedler.
35km to go and the sprinters are 2'30" down and this should be it for them. Page still has 2'20" on the bunch
Page goes through 20km to go with a 1'37" advantage
Vicioso attacks
Now O'Brian, Masciarreli, Lobato and Sobal
Foder follows them
behind, Kusters and Ciccarese attack
Ospina joins them
Vicioso has joined Page.
Lobato tries to join them
11.8km to go and Vicioso summits solo
Lobato just passes page 20 seconds later. This means Page falls 1 point short of taking the mountains jersey
The bunch are now on him, with Masciarreli, O'Brien and Sobal going for it.
They go nowhere and as the road flattens 11 men are chasing Vicioso at -40", Lobato at -32" and Ospina at -12"
The two front men come together.
O'Brien, Sobal and Pacheco attack
Ospina makes it to the front.
Pacheco now tries to make it to the leaders
Ciccarese pulls the chasers all back together
Ospina and Vicioso start the sprint with 1500m to race.
Vicioso powers clear
And he takes the win
Ospina and Lobato round out the podium, with Grychenko and Rodriguez Oliver next, shutting down the gap.
Gonzalez comes in a two minutes back, he only gets to enjoy the one day in yellow then.
While the sprinters lose 6 minutes.
Vicoso gets a 12 second gap, and now leads by 20 seconds over Ospina, with Sohrabi and Lobato at 24 and the other 16 at +32". Will one of them win it, or will a break get away?
Gazprom managed to get 3 in the front group, allowing them to take a 1'37" lead in the team competition. In the youth competition Hasnaoui is the only young rider in the front group, and barring a crash or a break, he seems to have booked his flight to Swaziland.
