French cycling shows its chest in the outcome of tour of the alps, after a very difficult fifth and final stage. Short, only 114.5 kilometers, with two punctuation the height of my dear sir and the last climb to just over 10 kilometers, which was decisive. It was a complicated day that also had the presence of rain, fog and cold, providing the necessary epic that all good successes need.
Such as the achievements of Thibaut Pinot Y Romain Bardet. The first because he left tears the day before after he saw how ‘Superman’ Lopez I left him with honey on his lips and after more than a thousand days he returned to the path of success. This is the Gallic runner’s Groupama the strongest in the first breakout, beating a bout David of the Cross, who fought for victory until the last meters. After the two mentioned cyclists, the German Lennard Kamna and a bravo Igor Arrieta (Kern Pharma).
When the winner was found out during the day, the question was to find out what was going on in the back, as the celebrities of the peloton allowed the escape, which they were able to give more than ten minutes. Pello Bilbao there was only two seconds of margin with respect to a Romain Bardet who won the game at the last ascent of the day, Stronach, 3.2 kilometers, with ramps of 11.8% and with that attack sticking to the tires. Until approaching this last colossus, Pello’s team, Bahrain-Victoriuscontrolled the race well, but Bardert put his squad, DSM, to work as a block. Pello was left alone and the seconds quickly disappeared. In the blink of an eye the difference disappeared in 25 seconds.
On the long descent Pello Bilbao cannot subtract a second, while Bardetwell seconded by his teammate his partner Arensmann Y Storer, is opening up space and ensuring not only the success of the general, but the podium. After 114.5 kilometers of sun, Romain Bardet took over the general of the 45th edition of tour of the alpsformerly Australian Michael Storer (Groupama)which improved eight positions compared to the beginning, and from Thymen Arensmann (DSM); while Pello Bilbao was fourth.
So ended a fascinating Tour of the Alps, which for some served as preparation for Liège-Bastogne-Liège on Sunday and much more in preparation for a Italy is spinning that each day is closer, beginning on May 6th.
