Cav' Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 Dowsett's shoulders are beginning to rock, and he grits his teeth as the Movistar team car pulls up alongside him. His lead is just over a minute on the peloton.
Cav' Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 12km remaining from 166km14:50:54 CET 30 seconds the lead for Dowsett as he crosses the Arno for the final time with 12 kilometres remaining.
jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Omega Pharma-QuickStep continue to lead the bunch with 10 kilometres remaining, where Dowsett's lead drops to 17 seconds. Tinkoff-Saxo and Sky are also moving up in a bid to keep Alberto Contador and Richie Porte out of trouble in the finale.

'Dale Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Omega Pharma-QuickStep continue to lead the bunch with 10 kilometres remaining, where Dowsett's lead drops to 17 seconds. Tinkoff-Saxo and Sky are also moving up in a bid to keep Alberto Contador and Richie Porte out of trouble in the finale.
jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Omega Pharma-QuickStep have dropped back from the head of the peloton, and Dowsett remains dangling alone out in front.
'Dale Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 A crash in the peloton sees a number of Lott-Belisol riders come down, although Andre Greipel does not appear to be among them. Stijn Devolder (Trek) was also among the fallers, but the Belgian champion remounts quickly and gives chase.
jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Tinkoff-Saxo has now taken up the reins, in support of Contador but perhaps also in support of local rider Daniele Bennati. It's a few years, however, since Bennati beat the likes of Cavendish in a bunch finish.
jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 The Tinkoff-Saxo-led peloton catches Dowsett with 7 kilometres remaining, and the stage is set for a sprint finish in Cascina.
jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Lotto-Belisol are trying to force their way up the right hand side of the road in support of Greipel. Lampre-Merida are doing the same on the left in an attempt to set up Sacha Modolo.
'Dale Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I'll leave this one for you to finish Dale ;-) Nah, I'm in and out...
jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Arnaud Demare is also tucked in a decent position in the colours of FDJ.fr, and a Cannondale delegation is attempting to guide Peter Sagan towards the front.
