No, I think they’ve got let’s see in the red there. I can’t quite tell who’s at the back of that. Milan Mentor’s always got the pedigree to be involved in a finish like this. And this is a this is a really tasty actually much more pure sprinters finish today. I’d say assume Lotto would have been looking towards me. Um cuz he would certainly have come into the race as their designated sprinter. Yeah. I wonder how much yesterday’s result by Van Balen in fourth. Um might have maybe switched that. We will see. They are in the red right in the middle. Group arm refugee have got four or five riders there. They’re led at the moment by yesterday’s breakaway artist Oscar Nielson Julian the Frenchman. That corner hasn’t helped. has mixed things up a bit. There is Paul Manet in that yellow jersey right in the middle of the shop back there. And he’s right alongside Lucash Kubish. We could be looking at a replay of yesterday’s finish. And there’s the two riders that Hutch and I both picked. And an attack down the right hand side of the road here. And this attack is coming from Bias Carrera Premac, the Italian team. And the rider who’s attacking is Federico Aamoni. Now there’s a rider whose name I’ve never said before. Federico Ayakamoni the Italian 23y old for Bessa Carrera Premac that’s a nice move it shows it’s doable Hutch at this late stage yeah speed of the speed of the bunch is not so high that you can’t get away from it the difficulty is recovering from that initial jump um and then managing to keep in front and it’s it always looks so much easier than it is not that hard to get 10 bike lengths it extremely hard to get from 10 to 15 to 20 to Well, yesterday lotto were using Logan Curry in an attacking sense. Today he is part of this lead out. They’ve got Milan Mentor on third wheel and they’ve got Matthew Fox just in front of him. So this is about Mentor. I’m pretty certain I actually can’t see Van Balen in there at all. So Milan Menon where we’d expect him to be right now. Up come Group AR refugee on the right. They’re overlapping with the Vulkar vessels rider who’s in there and amongst them as well. Paul Man needs to be careful here that he doesn’t get boxed in on the inside. He’s got four teammates right in front of him and Joseph Churnney is involved in that lead out train. In fact, if I’m reading numbers correctly, it looks like Ysef Churnney might be the last man to go and I can’t believe that. No, it isn’t. It is Drace Van Gestel again. I did this yesterday, didn’t I? D Van Gestl is the final leadout man just ahead of Paul Manet. We saw it work yesterday although they didn’t half have to chase down Nicholas Barren. There is the 1k to go flag. That is Gregoire just dropping off the front presumably looking back towards looking for Matthew Walls. Yeah. Yeah. Let’s see which way they choose to go. The the boys from FDG. This is an impressive drive now from ATT. They have brought up um Dominic Newman who we saw earlier. Now here comes Luc Kubish. He wants to go early. I think Kubish moving up in that best low back jersey. It’s slightly downhill here, so it’s going to be really fast. Paul Manet still has two riders to go. It is Eve Lamper leading out. It’s Drece Vanghes ready to go. A sweeping rightander. There it is. We know it tightens around here. They’ve got to be careful. There’s where it comes back in on itself. Paul Man ready to go. D Van Gestto dispatching. Look at the gap already. Back to Cubis. They’ve done a job on this Sudow quick step and it’s a job that’s going to work I think. Paul Man ready to go. Lucash Kubish on his wheel. Kubish, can he come off the wheel this time? Paul Man going for the line. I don’t think Kubish can. Man is going to get two in a row here in Slovakia. He leads the race overall and with that gets a 10 second bonus and cements a little bit more of a lead in the in the GC. That was a nicely done sprint. Um they just seemed to get a little bit of a gap on Cubis in that um in that final righthander just as a tightened. He seemed to lose the wheel by by half a length or so. Um little bit out of the draft. Never really got back on terms. Um Another nice job. They had they had a much easier affair of it as well, didn’t they? Not like yesterday where they had all the attacking to do. It was actually textbook that couple of little attacks on that circuit, but nothing they couldn’t handle. And in the end, Kumish did his best, but actually didn’t even come out of the wheel shadow of Paul Manet in the end there. In fact, when we see it from on high, there was probably a bit more of a gap.
