with a number two on his back and at the moment I think he has Dan Mcclelay just in front of him. Matty Brennan’s disappeared a little bit further back as well. In fact, they’re split slightly. I did talk about you know this tantalizing prospect of a Formula 1 style split within the team. I’m certainly not suggesting that but they’re physically split at the moment and I think it’s I think actually Dan Mcclelay has um Matty Brennan off to one side and then over on the other side is Olaf Koy, Nicholas Barren and somebody else as well. So Vizma Lisa Biker definitely split in there at the moment. We’re looking now at Arthur Klucas, the Luxembourg road race champion working for Arvid Decline. I’ve not really seen anything of Arvid Decline so far, but the Dutchman is so good at hiding and if he’s in good position, Clucas is working here. Watch out for Arvid Decline cuz he can come through like a cannonball right at the finish as well. Alsink on the other side now. It looks to me like they’ve actually got Sam Gay in good position, but where’s Jensen Plowight? There’s another man who’d be a good pick for a day like this. We’ve not mentioned too much of the Australians so far. They’re spread wide across the road hoping for safe passage to the finish. 3 km to go, Matt. Yeah, you actually see Dan Mlay got himself back into the position on the train and it’s it’s actually Koi and Brennan now that are together a little bit further back at the moment. Cory was just in front of Brennan, but it looks like they’re just about to switch positions as it really is a messy finish here cuz the road is so wide and then it goes narrow again as they go through the roundabouts. It’s just causing all the time that shockwave effect. Now we are now coming away from what should be the last of the little pinch points to the kind of sweeping road that takes us on the long curving rightand turn around these final two kilometers. Still traffic islands to deal with though all the time. Matias Vatk in the middle for lead but he appears to he appears to be leading out Piet Aligout at the moment. Pier Aligat following him. Sanif Anilowski is still there with the number 41 on this back but he looks like he is also freestyling at this stage. It’s Mihal Quakoski the pole on the front for Inios Grenaders who so much into this stage they will be hoping that their man Ben Turner can finish this one off for them. Yeah, it’s really uh it’s really messy in there. It’s just constant changing of teams at the front. Constant that washing machine effect that we call it just as riders just trying to come into position. When you have so many sprinters and only maximum two chances, everyone wants to make it count. And you’re seeing that here now. Yeah, Ben Turner is now up to second wheel as well for Inos. Mihi is doing a very long lead out here, but he’s got Ben Turner on his wheel and a crash off to the right hand side. That’s taken out unfortunately one of the picnic personnel riders. Let’s hope that’s not Casper Van from where he was. It was pretty near the front of the field as well. So, it has disrupted things. Yeah, I think that was Pat Eddie that came down there for Postnel, but like you say, it was really in that front pocket of sprinters there, which that will have taken a few guys out of the race. And the race continues. It’s now J Alula who picked things up on the front, but that has disrupted stuff. Not just taking riders out, but taking leadout riders out as well. It’s now Vizma Lisa who take over on the front. one of their riders in the arrow home. I think that might be Dan Mcclelay starting already right in the middle of the shot. It looks like Jensen Plowight is still there as well for Alpas Derning. So they’ve got two riders in the fray. Let’s see how much this has messed things up. Mattis Mikuel’s is still there, the Estonian road race champion. He is right in the middle. We’re waiting for the shot from the front end. It’s looking like I think it might be Hubart who’s in the middle ready to take the shot. Henhooka is still there as well. This could not be. This could actually end up being a sprint finish that features riders we weren’t expecting. Ben Turner has freestyled. He sits second wheel, the British rider, but Inosio Grenadier. Prime position here. Great opportunity for Ben Turner to go for this one. Here comes the next of the EF riders and I think it is actually Alberto Betio by the looks of it who’s leading in here. Ben Turner is following every single wheel he can touch at the moment. He’s ready to go. Off he goes. Tim Tutenberg has opened up though. Titenberg might just take this on stage one. It looks like the young German is open for the line. I think he might get this. Max Caner tucked in just behind him. Ben Turner giving it a right go down the middle. Here comes Jensen BL right as well. One of the Vismally riders. That looks like Olaf Koy going for the line. Has he got it? Olaf Koy. There’s me bigging up all the riders we necessarily weren’t particularly expecting. And he’s only gone and done it again. Olaf Cory with four stages over the last three years has opened his account. He’s won stage one and he is going to be the leader of this year’s tour of Bologna. Yeah, a fantastic sprint there from Olaf K. There was a a few guys had to open up early as they ran out of lead outmen, but Olaf Koy time that to absolute perfection and I think Sam Bennett also got himself up there there for second place. My goodness me, that was tough to stay on top of, wasn’t it? We were getting a lot of sort of switching different front end shots as well. But wow, Olaf Koy was in the end seemed to be he seemed to have floated all the madness in there just like all great sprinters do of course and perfectly positioned come the

  1. the visma leadout rider super dirty, he watches on his left, sees the white sprinter passing him and then he nearly brings him to fall what seems like on purpose
