Impey, Soler and Muhlberger are off the back early on while Fred Wright kicks clear and joins Adria in pursuit of Stewart, whose lead is down to 22 seconds. I was in the perfect position in the final and I have the red jersey. Fans are out in their droves here, which is lovely to see - a sea of Basque flags and orange jerseys. It's Wright and Craddock who are leading the chase in this quintet but they still trail Soler by 12 seconds on this descent. Langellotti, meanwhile, adds another point to his KOM tally, so he's up to 13pts and consolidates his drip on the polka dot jersey. Over the top goes the Spanish leader with that precarious gap over the chasers. and it looks like it will come down to a fast finish in Bilbao. Masnada and Muhlbeger have ridden clear of the chasers. Wright picked up four seconds for his third place - but that wasn't enough and Molard will lead this race by two seconds once the peloton comes through the finish. I knew he was very fast for the sprint so I had my doubts. In the final I was waiting for him because I knew he could win the stage with his sprint. I was not so far down on GC and I talked to my team-mates about the possibility of getting the red today.
