There is not too much difference this year between the best cyclists in Return to Burgosand even fewer of the first classified. Suffice it to say that the 10 best runners in the Burgos event were separated by only 1 minute, plus the distance between the first and second classified was only 5 seconds. 5 seconds that can be gained or lost in the blink of an eye.
After good individual testing at the time that the young British Max Poole (21 years old), the american Sepp Kuss He leaves this Friday with just five seconds remaining in the overall standings. Ahead, 156 kilometers on the fifth and final day, starting at cold and outcome to Trevino.
A day of ups and downs that also incentivizes an intermediate sprint 30 kilometers from the finish line, which will undoubtedly add excitement to the stage itself and to the outcome of the race. Too many Sepp Kuss as Max Poole They have powerful equipment that protects them and defends them from their enemies, Team Visma rented a Bike and Team dsm-firmenich PostNLand, although a priori everything suggests that the overall victory could go to the winner of the last edition of the Vuelta, we should not exclude the options of young Poole, who, as they say, has a lot to gain and nothing to gain . lose.
