Kwiatkowski accelerates with 13 kms to go and he is accompanied by Lammertink, Kreuziger, Spilak and Castroviejo. They gobble up Ballerini and race to a 30 seconds gap. Kreuziger and Lammertink are dropped.
With 7 kms to go Spilak speeds up and Castroviejo can’t follow the pace, 2 kms later Kwiatkowski is dropped also.
