The British Oscar Onley (Picnic postnl), after a style rivalry, won Portuguese Joao Almeida . Kevin Vauquelin (Arkéa).
Second professional success for Ondley (Kelso, 22 years old), a young cyclist who challenged Almeida to a stubborn climb with Castaneda to defeat Portuguese by speed at a very equivalent end. The British is marked by a time of 4h.33.28. 23 seconds Austrian arrives Felix Gall (Decathlon) 57 Vauquelin, new leader.
He did not endure the mountain day Romain GreekThat gave more than 4 minutes, so he left the yellow jersey behind Vauquelin. The Arkéa cyclist leads the general, followed by his countryman Julian Alaphilippe 29 seconds and for Almeida in 39. The first Spanish was Pablo Castrillo (Movistar) in 2.40 minutes.
Noticeably -noting that vacation quality with double Spanish existence, Pello Bilbao and Javier Romoaccompanied by Neilson Powless, Vlasov and FortunatoThe King of Italy of Mount Giro. A quintet formed in the increase in the first difficulty of the day, El Juliress (1A, 7.3 km to 6.5%), as well as the seizure and collective eagerness to cooperate.
In a combined expedition to the endless Paso de San Bernardino (1A, 7.5 km to 6), the squad did not show interest in the dream of the five brave dreams of the sun. Vlasov He crowned more than 2,000 meters in height and the platoon for more than 2 minutes with the Almeida UAE marking the rhythm.
After the top, a vertiginous descent of 35 km flowed at the foot of Castaneda, a demanding first category of 4.5 km to 9.8 had to climb twice inside a circuit located around Santa Maria in Calanca, Gray Canton Community.
They minimize differences because of the UAE’s attitude of saying rhythm to the group. Castaneda, an increase in narrow roads and percentage of up to 14 percent, punished staff for their first actions. At 25 km, hate began. Attack by Vlatov, Bilbao followed the wheel and gave the others.
In the background, Almeida also began to warn near the top with a bit of speed. The main group was about to escape when it came to the plains before the second and certain increase in Castaneda’s goal. General’s men gathered in prosecution, except for the leader Romain Grégoire. He endured Pablo CastrilloLinking to Romo.
Almeida’s Arreón has no continuation of the principle, which gives the ‘Musketeer’ Julian Alaphilippe energy to launch one of the former double world champion attacks. A struggle in the game began with high -hierarchy men.
Almeida spent a problem, choosing to rise in his rhythm, but, as he always said, he didn’t give up. The Portuguese manages his efforts and has been able to respond to an Oscar Ondley initiative, which broke the selected group.
The end, very difficult, by ramps of 14 percent, lived the Ondley-Almeida duel for stage. Behind, by yellow jersey, Vauquelin March. In front there is no agreement to distribute the victory cake. The Portuguese fought for the second consecutive success and the bonus, but the picnic child eats the best snacks.
This Friday, the sixth phase will play between the chur and Neuhausen am Rheinfall, with a tour of 186.7 km. Two second levels in the early part of the route are the only orographic incentive for a day for adventurers or sprinters.
