What a stage we have experienced. It was a stage that a priori showed an up and down route, an ideal terrain for attacks, but the majority of cyclists did not move and the reason was very simple, due to the casuistry of the peloton.
There are five teams that do not attack, which are the main favorites for the final victory (UAE with Pogacar, Soudal with Evenepoel, Visma with Vingegaard, Red Bull with Rodriguez and Ineos with Rodríguez), these groups with differences that exist do not move. Then, there are four or five teams with sprinters who do not allow the runners to move and only give permission to a few modest ones to shine and have their minutes of fame, as happened today in Abrahamsen.
The end of the stage was beautiful. He Eritrean Girmay He won again and he won well. I am happy for him and for African cycling. Girmay’s success is good news.
And this Sunday I think we will experience a situation very similar to today. A day on narrow roads where the favorites must be very accommodating. It was well worth the last effort before the rest stage on Monday.
