Dries Devenyns attacks from the peloton with 10km remaining. He may as well, as he's certainly not going to win a sprint on the Mur.

Kiryienka is sitting in behind Lovkvist, letting him do the work. The Belarussian has just looked back and seen the peloton bearing down on them. He knows it'll soon be over for them.
