Cycling: Endura finish with flourish
Frenchman Alexandre Blain was the leading Endura finisher, crossing the line in tenth spot behind the German Andre Greipel (HTC-Columbia) who posted his third stage win of the event. And Jack Bauer, Rob Partridge, Iker Camano, James Moss and Capital rider Evan Oliphant all featured in the 52-strong bunch sprinting for the win.
Partridge ended the week as the leading Briton, occupying eighth place overall behind Swiss rider Michael Albasini (HTC-Columbia), the race winner, and ahead of a host of big names including Bradley Wiggins (Team Sky), while Endura proved that they can survive with the higher-profile teams by finishing eighth overall.
