    Arensman clinging in, Roglic goes and Thomas follows comfortably with Almeida doing his diesel thing.

    Thomas closes down Roglic with ease. Nice use of the crowd block there!

    Gets a small gap but Roglic closes, Almeida losing out. Geraint opens back up and has a couple of seconds.

    I wasn't paying that much attention last week, but wasn't everyone saying Almeida was going to win?

    10/10 day that.

    Actually 9/10, could have done with more action from the GC group.
