Ruta del Sol Final Stage: A Big Attack

After the peloton finally pulled back Paterski (CCC Spandi), Edward Theuns (Topsport Vlaaderen) thought he would have a go at jumping the sprinters.  The final two kilometers were seemingly straight up to the finish.  Theuns waited for one of the Lotto Jumbo NL riders to swing off and in the loll, launched his big move.  With a much shorter distance to go, he had a slightly better chance of making it alone to the line, but yet again, it was still a long shot.  Or should I say, short shot?
