As for the overall standings, there were no big surprises with Remco Evenepoel who crossed the finish line together with Enric Mas and Primoz Roglic, while all the others came later.
Today’s stage includes 5 GPMs. The first will be the Alto del Torno (8.3 km at 5.7%) at km 55.6, followed by the Mirador del Fito (first category GPM of 10 km at 5.5%) and the Alto de the Llama (6.7 km at 5.2%). The last two roughnesses will finally be placed in the last 30 km: first the riders will have to face La Campa (9 km at 4.1%) and then the uphill finish on the terrifying Les Praeres (3.9 km at 12.9%, maximum tip of 24%!). Today’s favorites will be Remco Evenepoel, Enric Mas and Primoz Roglic, but also pay attention above all to Hugh Carthy, Simon Yates, Tao Geoghegan Hart and Jai Hindley.
