    4ks, no attack. One lone Cofidis on the front and Rein just behind. LLS lurking. Iglinsky off the back.

    Kudos not there.

    Conti of Lampre gets a 30m gap.

    Pace slowed so MARCZYNSKI makes it back up and attacks.

    Rein comes to the front. He needs to dig deep. Yates turning those pedals with ease.

    Yates dropping a bollock with the celebration?

    edit: no. Takes leader's jersey by a second.

    Yates takes it without getting out of the saddle. They were super close at the end - not sure why he didnt give it some sprint at the end - not really acceptable unless he was totally cooked.

    I bet Yates is glad he is not riding the front of the bunch for the first 100km of races. Good job lad.
