An unique criterium (through Motherwell) on the menu today: surely a sprinter's day. Serebriakov taking a narrow victory ahead of Lavoine and Forero yesterday. Same names today?
Again three riders going for the break of the day, not really allowed a bigger gap with just 42km in total here:
Efstathiou Navarro Roth
Roth was the last man standing, trying to hold off the chasing pack. Empty-handed and so we get the next mass sprint:
Matysiak
Popov
Lavoine
Serebriakov
Dahlberg
Pelucchi
Giacoppo
Andriato
Forero
Moser
Vanderaerden
Serebriakov entering the finishing stretch with an advantage on Giacoppo, Lavoine/Matysiak and Pelluchi!
Vanderaerden/Andriato and a struggling Forero already quite far behind..
Serebriakov going strong towards his second victory, with Lavoine, Giacoppo and Pelluchi fighting for the podium!
Lima moving forward now, but of course too late for line honours..
..which go to a dominating Serebriakov, who grows his GC-lead that way!
Lavoine 2nd ahead of a strong Giacoppo and Pelucchi/Matysiak.
Lima, Popov and Forero then. The latter not with his best legs today.
