Gianni Bugno pulled 29 riders up to him including race leader Armin Meier. The gap then rose to the 22.25 with which it finished -- and technically the rest of the peloton should have been eliminated when it was overtaken by the break on the finishing circuit. The organisers didn't want a 31-man race though, so raised the elimination limit from 7% to 10%, pleading theheat of the day, an unfavourable wind and the "animated character" of the racing!
