An escape group consisting of BMC's Michael Schar, IAM's Aleksejs Saramotins, Giairo Ermeti of Androni-Giocattoli, and Katusha's Maxim Belkov gained as much as 10 minutes 50.
Cannondale and Radioshack were at the head as the kilometres ticked by, the gap steadily decreasing to under five minutes with 57k to go.
The quartet continued to ride cohesively, while the cream had risen to the top of the chasing bunch... causing an inevitable scattering of riders at the back of the race.
The lead would eventually disintegrate before a regrouping that brought late attacker Moreno Moser into contention with 6k to go.

But there's a twist, one of the Hotta's is kitted out in full retro-guise, but the other, is a modern take, assembled with cutting-edge components to blend the two worlds into one.
