15 Most Beautiful Small Towns To Visit In Germany

What an amazing finale we've had to a super day of cat-and-mouse action throughout this amazing run. Well, Trentin doing a phenomenal job working for Muzzato. He's in a very good place here. He's in wheel four. Just hanging here on the back wheel of Alexis Renard from Cofidis. I expect Fretin might well be in there as well but it could come down to Renard. He's on very good form after developing that within the Vuelta itself. So, had a bit of a lay-off in the meantime and that only can be a good thing. So, Trentin is the man who's sacrificing himself at the moment. Let's see if, indeed, Tudor can deliver. They've really started to stand tall since Marco Brenner, of course, took himself that famous stage win. First ever Grand Tour win in La Vuelta. Ten seconds now with 4.4 kilometres to go but they're going to come, start to get to the more technical approach and that's where this is going to hurt the chase potentially. Still in the frame here is Pavel Bitner for Picnic Post NL. That's nice to see as well. And the big guns from UNO-X are still part of that group with Varun Sheldon-Abramsen also playing the game here. Well, he's got teammates up the road. There may well be disturbing matters. Four kilometres to go with ten second margin. Has anyone got anything left out of this group? Well, Agricel hits it at the front. Bocamose is still tucked in. Has Bocamose got the opportunity to use his sprint after a gnarly day? He's capable. Well, so is Roger Adria. And finally, he goes very, very long here for Movistar. He's off the front of the chase. Not actually fully committed just for now, it seems. Looks like he's almost waiting up for somebody. Getting a bridge over here. It's Lebert who wants to come over, working predumably. But Anthony Turgis, eight seconds with 3.4 kilometres to go. And there they are, just the hounds within sight of the hares here. This is brilliant. Looking at the head of the race, 3.3 kilometres to go. It's at the end of this long drag where the nastiness begins in all of those corners here. And still could go either way. I mean, it's been so much Lotto Intermarche and Groupama working in that front group because their plan A is all or not front group. And they're still working pretty hard up there. And really, the change here was when Total Energies came to the front looking really to work for Anthony Turgis, probably. They really were the team that injected the pace into this. And they're still on the front line. Abramson not spending it all just yet. He's on the back wheel of Lewis Askey. Lewis Askey there with the multicolours. The Quattro Stagioni of the NSN cycling team. Abramson kind of looming, lurking, if you will. Waiting to go for it. Meanwhile, the front group still have a belief with 2.6 kilometres to go. They're getting into the technical stuff. Beloved of city engineers. And finally, the pick-up comes. And, of course, it has to be Gritel working for Bercamoz. All of these guys have got some nasty turns, twists and turns to deal with. They're lining up with Abramson and Baranchal for Unix Mobility. And here comes the first of these roundabouts that they've got to deal with. Double checks over shoulders to see who's going for it. Looks like Askey's going to ask himself the question and just go off the front. Binim Gamay is further back here. But Askey, I think, is the man who's imposing himself just for now. Hard to see from this tracking shot, but 2.2 and 13 and 14 seconds, it says. At this marker, 15 seconds and 16 now. Goodness me. Big old drive there. Gritel, I'll tell you what, he has got to be on Bercamoz's Christmas card list at the end of this one. That is Bercamoz just tucked in in second place. Is it going to be brilliant timing by them? Here it comes at 1.9 and we go around this industrial estate. So they're out of sight, if not out of mind. What a finale here, Michael. Yeah, this group here will be able to handle these roads a little bit faster than the group behind. That gap, it never was down to 8 seconds. It was always more like 15, 16. And it's still really in the balance here. Total Energy's working. UnoX in a great position. They've got two riders in this group. And they've got Baranchal up at the front with the leader in the group behind. So they've got it all covered. Almost having no teammates around you is the better choice. And I've got to say that Lucas Kubis is moving up rather neatly. He's just stucking onto the wheel of indeed the Groupama boys, Gruel and Unz. This is Gritel with his beard and moustache at the front with yellow Bercamoz in this kind of company. Is he still the best sprinter? That's what we need to know. Where's Laurence Pitti? And a big roll of the dice comes right now. They're going for it. But Vaught, I think it is, that's asking the questions for the first time of asking. They sail around here. When is Bercamoz going to take the bait and actually go for this? He's keeping his power to drive just for the time being. 900 meters to go. Now this is where it gets really gnarly. They've got one more big turn. And then they've got a highway approach to the finale here today. This is absolutely sensational. Big pick-up right now. Here's the drive-out. Gritel still doing the lead-out. Now they've gone cagey. 10 seconds only. But it's going to be a long reach that comes from the back here. Who's it going to be, though? That's the big question. And it is Luc Lamperti that wants to play the game on behalf of EF Education. This is a big pick-up right now. They're going for it. Groupama are the ones that fray first of all. But Bercamoz is there. Is he going to get up? He comes up onto the shoulder. Can't quite get by at the moment. Ballesteros there. It's going to be spread wide across the line. Big, big Bercamoz. Is he coming through? Is he going to nick it right on the line? Oh, and he just gives it in. What an extra kick here. And he can't quite get there. Nice little pick-up from Tim Tom-Teutenberg. It's four together there. Shoulder to shoulder, shoulder. Oh, with no exit. Thank you very much. It had to be for them. They've been standing so tall so often. And right now, it's so much heartbreak for just about everybody else behind them. They had two up there. That was absolutely sensational. Brilliant work. Having Pavard and Pedersen playing the 0-1-2. And it is Jere Bercamoz that launched a sprint, but just could not handle them by the very last. What a sensational finish. And they stayed away. They got there. They did the job. And for that, you have to give them just so much credit. What a finale. What an amazing run that was. And Henny Pedersen, I believe it is, that has taken the day. What about that?
