Ryder does a really good job for Martin. That's three races I can think of where he has used the same tactic, obviously he is good enough to succeed if the rivals don't work hard to close him down and Dan is perfect for those tough little finishes.
They still had to ride the last km or so of the original finish in procession, through the smog, and Gilbert even redid his victory! Somewhat better crowds there: http://www.cyclingfans.com/node/15829 (from 2:09:00 on; actual shortened race finish at ca 45:00)
Modolo takes the stage and Gilbert the GC, no significant changes to the GC which was a bit of a shame but Farrar just takes the points jersey on the line by coming in 4th to Mezgec's 6th.
Not the most exciting of races but it's a shame the season is now over. Please let's all try and convince Eurosport to show the cyclocross in the off season so I don't go mad in the next few months. With the popularity it's gaining here and the UK round of the world cup we should be due some and it's much better than snooker!
The Track Revolution series is on soon but last time it was only BT sport, not sure this time.
