A flat one for the Bulgarian nationals with all the riders from Boeing - Bulgaria which split themselves into three squads for this one.
Team Cholakov - Cholakov, Robov, Aleksiev, Gyurov
Team Panayotov - Panayotov, Mihaylov, Grashev
And Team Georgiev - Hristov, Stoenchev, Georgiev
The second and the third team with more recognisable names but the first contains the extra man.
Here they go..
Three riders move clear - cobbler Hristov, Tester-cum-sprinter Mihavlov and rubbish chrono man Stoenchev strange that no one from the first team responds.
They get a comfortable four minute gap coming into last 20 kms. Hristov attacks.
Mihavlov draws him back in with Stoenchev on his wheel, this happens again with around 10km left. Mihavlov draws it all in for a three up sprint.
Stoenchev (SP 63 AC 62) is closest to us, Mihavlov (SP 70 AC 73) is in middle with Hristov (SP 63 AC 70) furthest.
It proves and easy one for Mihavlov - the other two made a good attempt to draw the sprint out of the big man but to no avail.
Hristov is second, Stoenchev third the other seven are picked up by the Boeing broomwagon, goodness only knows what their manager will be doing to them in there.
