Big breakaway at 5 mins, including Sagan and Goss, hunting those intermediate sprint points:

 

Right, finally had official word from up the road. There's 25 of them in this break. They are (deep breath):

Burghardt and Cummings (BMC); Popovych and Voigt (RNT): Arashiro (EUC): Martinez (EUS); Sagan (LIQ); Scarponi (LAM); Millar and Zabriskie (GRS); Peraud (ALM); Jeandesboz (SAU); Horrach (KAT); Casar, Hutarovich and Ladagnous (FDJ); Sanchez (RAB); Kroon and Morkov (STB); Fofonov and Grivko (AST); Devenyns (OPQ); and Gerrans and Goss (OGE)

There's one in the valley floor between two climbs.

Getting there first, amongst the sprinters, makes it a tough challenge.

He just needs points, watch him blow like a cheap compressor.
