There were no KOM points available for reigning champ Jacob Rathe today, but he spent some time in the hotseat after an early fast finish…

The KOM jersey was hotly contested, with points on the final HC climb determining the winner.

Likewise, the battle for the podium meant that every second counted and letting up for even a moment would cost that place.  Serghei Tvetcov remains in 3rd after a heroic defense.
