    15 km remaining.

    Gianni Moscon (Sky) is the lone leader but soon to be caught by the peloton. About 40 riders in it.

    10 km to go and Orica-Scott are leading the peloton. They have just started the narrow final climb.

    Motorbike camera signal is brutal.

    Going to be a sprint between Landa, Kwiatkowski, Dumoulin, Gallopin and Mollema.

    Top class group.

    Landa plays John the Baptist again... this time for Kwiatkowski to take the win.

    I thought Sky had blown it but Kwiatkowski wins it from Gallopin then Mollema.

    To be fair Sky played it tactically perfect, Landa was always going to struggle in a sprint be it 2 up or 3 up in that group, whereas Kwiat was the likely winner of the 5 man bunch sprint.

    The plan in theory was perfect but when Dumoulin managed to catch Landa and there was a gap to the rest, that's when I thought they had messed up!
