Kudentsov wins after Janiaczyk is relegated
By Remko Kramer in Danzhou
|
It was another sunny day on the Island of Hainan in China. The start of today's stage was in the capital Haikou. The peloton commenced racing with eight fewer riders, all of whom were victims of crashes in yesterday's final kilometers.
On the local circuit along the harbour and over the harbour bridge, Malaysian sprinter Anuar Manan tried his luck and went for a solo break. He gained four minutes while the peloton rode easily along the coastline. But when the pack turned left onto the island again, a cross wind strung them out and and Manan was caught.
Soon after, 10 riders broke away, eventually gaining four minutes of their own. The Russian National Team and Discovery Channel Marco Polo chased the break down which brought the peloton back together for a final bunch sprint.
The Intel Action Team led it out and Blazej Janiaczyk (Intel Action) appeared to have won. However, the Polish riders made an unexpected move in the final sprint that hindered the other sprinters, so Janiaczyk was disqualified and instead, Sergey Kudentsov (Discovery Channel Marco Polo Team) was awarded the win. Second place went to Robert Radosz (Intel Action) who moved into third in the general classification.
Jenis Galimzianov (Russian National Team) retained his GC lead with nine seconds over Kudentsov.
