    Spilak moves off the front. Barguil and Majka at the head of the peloton but no one chasing Spilak.

    Amazingly Brandle has held his 4min lead.

    Super slow this climb though so a long way to go.

    Still has 8km to race.

    Heano on the front pulling for G.

    Pozzo fine.

    Spilak with a 75m gap and going strongly. Henao pulls G, a CCC, Majka, two Astana and someone else. Tv camera wont show them.

    7ks for Denifl and has 3.30 on chasers. Tom D at 40.

    Pozzo in that group.

    Pinot is dropped a little and is chasing along with Barguil and Chaves and another.

    Those two groups merge but Barguil suffers. Heano still tapping it out.

    Gesink chases with Tom D at about 100m.

    At 6km Tom D is about only a minute off the pace. No attacks from the GC boys yet.

    Denifl no rocking yet as Spilak turning the pedals well and moves on to the flat part.

    Looks like Majka dropped and now with Barguil about 150m off the pace.

    Heano still grinding it out for G with Rebellin, Pozzo, Fug, Pinot, Chaves and one other Astana in his wheel.

    Spilak has 4 secs.

    At 5km Denifl is going well according to the time gaps if they are reliable.

    Pozzo attacks. CCC, G and some Astana rider follow. Heano drops back then goes. Pinot slow but winds it up and catches.

    Fugslang the casualty.

    Heano dropped from the four chasers.

    Spilak in sight.

    Pinot, Pozzo, G, Astana, CCC and Spilak are together.

    They still haven't caught Denifl who has 1.51 with 2.7km to race. Amazing ride.

    Little known Stefan Denifl has a pretty light palmares although at 27 he managed to take 7th overall in PN this year.

    Stunning climb.

    Annoyingly this counter has gone down to 1.15 all of a sudden.

    2.5km for Denifl.

    Tom D still pegging at a minute.

    Spilak attacks. Pinot covers, proper climber.

    G grinding them back. Pinot doesn't like it so accelerates. Looks at ease but G no panic and continues to grind.

    2km 1min.

    Pinot showing his class. Damage down lets hope he doesn't blow. Over 50m on Spilak who is still ahead of G, Pozzo and Astana.

    1.5km, 20 sec to Denifl.
