It's clearly now Skinny's to lose. He has consolidated his lead, rode faster than Bjorn and covered 65km more in the day.
The challenge from Jonas didn't materialise: he was slower than Skinny yesterday. He closed the gap on Bjorn, but only by 300 metres! Hence he fell back vs Skinny.
Ian To managed to overhaul Matthias, despite going national park bagging. After his long sleep the night before it looks like he has ridden through.
It's not Skinny's recommended approach but others have done it with success. He'll feel really shit at some point today but it might work for him. He's only 20km behind Jonas and rode faster yesterday despite more climbing. I don't think he'll catch him though as the lack of sleep will make him slow down, and he keeps picking strange routes.
Looks like Matthias has also ridden through.
Overall I don't expect there to be many changes in order at the top from now on, most likely the gaps will just widen.
