    Going to be a stiff little sprint on the final circuit, this - bit of a kick upwards and then false flat until the final corner.

    The intermediate sprint might have helped everyone by stringing this back out.

    Counter attacks over the top of sprint ... Vos and yellow jersey in the move

    Heavyweight group including Vos, Balsamo and Longo Borghini out front. Can't see them being caught - pushing on after the intermediate sprint has ripped the race to pieces, not helped by some of the other big hitters being caught behind crashes etc

    Chase starting to get organised. Movistar fearing the wrath of AVV, DSM to try and defend yellow. 25" to make up though.

    Demi Vollering gets fed up of waiting for her team mates to do something useful and hits the front to try and close the gap. The peloton do not look particularly happy about the situation they're in - I think this chase is on the verge of falling apart.
