Fighting for Every Second
The Latvian rider, Aleksejs Saramotins, sprinted as hard as he could in a desperate attempt to gain the top seat in the waiting area. He came up 55 seconds short of the leader's time, but it was still enough to slide him into the current second place. A placing that slowly slipped away as the big names of the sport began to arrive at the finish line. Ultimately he dropped all of the way down to 39th overall.
