The order of the previous painting was flipped when the trio hit the line. Kevin Ledonis had countered his teammates move on the final cobbled climb up 23rd Street leaving both Simone Consonni (Italy) and his countryman, Anthony Turgis (France) behind. Ledonis put everything he had into getting up the final climb up to the finishing false flat straight to the line. As he faded from the effort with the finish line in site the entire crowd in the Fanfest held their collective breaths as the Italian chased from behind. Stuck to Consonni's wheel was Turgis ready to bounce (if he could) should the Italian get to his fading compatriot. In the end it was Ledonis who attempted to raise his arms in victory, but he struggled with his bike just as he had struggled to hold off the charging Italian.
