The Ecuadorian Jhonatan Narváez (UAE Emirates) was imposed on the fifth stage of the tour down under, played between McLaren Vale and Willunga Hill, 145.7 kilometers, managed to obtain leadership of Spanish Javier Romo (Movistar).
Narváez, who invested 3h17: 02 to cover the Queen Day route, was the fastest of the head trio in the final 300 meters, where he exceeded the British Oscar Onley (Picnic Postnl) and Neozyre Finn Fisher line – Black (Red Bull Bora-Hansgrohe).
The Ecuadorian gave the coup of grace with a strong rhythm change in the final ramps of final climbing that they could not respond to their rivals in the head of the race. They can only obey him, but, with well -known difficulties, Ondley and Fisher Black.
Meanwhile, Romo, who tried to control the situation, could not stop the attack and had to settle for three seconds next to the Australian Luke Plep (Hayco Alula), which, along with the Ecuadorian bonus, left to him second in the general classification of Australia’s rotation, nine seconds in the absence of final stage this week with removal and arrival in Adelaida, 90 kilometers and practical flat, though with intermediate bonuses .
Narváez, 27, is emerging as the first Ecuadorian who won the tour underneath, though he had to be attentive and avoid any fear given to the Romo and Fisher-Black itself, which is twelve seconds.
In the absence of about 90 kilometers, the planning is perfect for the UAE Emirates, because, as South American recognition, the tactics are to fight the general for his partner Jay Vine or himself.
Australia was unable to play general after the suffering of the fall on Friday, but the Ecuadorian showed a great level. He has not won since he won the first stage of Italy 2024, in Turin. Last year, he was second to this twist after British Stephen Williams.
