    Possible sprint finish today and one for Sam.

    The final 13km are on one of the main highways into Oviedo and are relatively free of road furniture. The final roundabout is just outside the 2km-to-go banner. Inside the final kilometre, the route snakes a touch until the 350-metre when it straightens up towards the line, rising a little as it does so.

    Yes! But bit of an anti-climax...

    Win number 13 for Sam this season ( +2 Points classifications). That makes him the winningest rider of the season.

    He mentioned last week he wasn't feeling 100% but this week he said he's been feeling better.

    Caught Phillipe Gilbert's bottle when he chucked it going through Ribadasella. Had to kick a child in the face to get it, but it was worth it :D:D

    Here ya go , about 3 minutes in. Hadn't seen it myself until now. Said he was afraid to celebrate as he wasn't sure if the break had been caught :D

    EDIT: There was one with Archbold too, but you'll have to check the on demand on the ES player for it.

    They have edited it, in the original he asks about his celebration being so muted and he explains about not knowing if the breakaway were caught and he didn't want to look like a muppet by celebrating.
