Race report
Daniel Pearson goes solo and Sun, Almemari and Valognes chase him down. The four riders race to a maximum lead of almost 5 minutes.
Once again, Pearson heads out on his own when the gap is down to 1 minute with 25 kms left to race. Jacob Hennessy and Robin Stannard bridge across with 10 kms to go and leave Pearson behind. The two team mates race to a 15 seconds lead, but they are swept up with 3 kms remaining.
A crash before the final straight disturbs the sprint before Viviani powers to victory.
