In the last quote of the Espríters, Belgian Jordi Meeus (Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe) was imposed at the speed of the Switzerland tour phase played between the chur and Neuhausen Am Rheinfall, 186.7 km, where French Kevin Vauquelin (Arkéa) led.
On a day marked by a leak from start to end, except for the last KM, Meeus (Lommel, 26 years old) took advantage of his team’s work, especially his partner Van Poppel, to end his weapons raised to sign the success number 13 of his career and second time.
Winner on stage in France 2023, Meeus scored 4h.10.24, on average 44.5 km/hour, which won the wrist of the Italian Davide Ballerini (Astana) and the British Lewis Askey (Groupama FDJ).
Without changes in general, Vauquelin spent a quiet day and maintained the headquarters with 29 seconds about his countryman Julian Alaphililippe and 39 with respect to Portuguese Joao Almeida, along with the Favorite Full Label before the Saturday and Chrono Stage of Sunday, defining the picture of the final podium.
A stage with a few climbs up to half the route and there is a seductive ending for sprinters. Leaving left, in KM 4, Mauro Schmid, former leader Grégoire, Küng and Sweeny, a interesting leak, but early, and always controlled by the squad. The best classified is Greek at 5.31.
The fact that corridors like Mohoric and Pelllo Bilbao, as well as picnic, alphacin and Q.36.5 turn to the head of a squad to promote a sprint arrival, and eventually the remaining team with the interest of choosing a win over Sprint is not favorable to the project.
Greekaire gave from the end line, but Schmid, if and sweeny became difficult. They understood and endured 1,500 meters to the end line, where the squad swallowed them. The lottery presented a candidacy for de Lie, but Bora had a van poppel de locomotora, which threw the sprint for Meeus’s accurate auction.
This Saturday the seventh phase will have 207 km and the towns of Neuhausen Am Rheinfall and Emmeten will be linked to a tour with interesting incentives at the end, with an increase in Bürgestock (2A, 5.5 km to 7.9%) and finally after climbing a third port of 3.9 km to 8.1. This will be the last choice for men of general before the Sunday’s decisive chronosqual.
