Race report
With 10 km’s done a group of 18 riders think today’s goal Port Aventura is a good enough reason to embark on an adventure. Three extra riders bridge the gap and they race to a maximum gain of 4 minutes. Van Garderen is the most prominent rider.

In the flat closing section Van Garderen pushes on and half of the break is dropped.

The sprint is won by Sergey Chernetskiy, a 25-year old Katusha rider.
