    Looks like the break will take the stage, 10 minute lead with 60km to go. Pity, but hopefully some guaranteed points will keep me in the hunt.

    It took until 90km to go but we have a break:

    Alessandro De Marchi (Androni Giocattoli-Venezuela
    Mathias Frank (BMC Racing Team)
    Io Izagirre (Euskaltel-Euskadi)
    Lucca Mazzanti (Farnese Vini-Sella Italia)
    Lars Ytting Bak (Lotto Belisol)
    Nicolas Maes (Omega Pharma-QuickStep)
    José Herrada Lopez (Movistar)
    Stef Clement (Rabobank)
    Matthias Brändle (NetApp)
    Manuele Baoro (Saxo Bank)

    Looks like I went with the wrong Rabo rider. Looks a strong break and should stick at least until the final climb.
