Back on the road, race favorites Jumbo Wisma, Primoz Roglic and Jonas Wingegaard, took the opportunity to attack Evenepol on the last steep slopes, finished 30 seconds ahead of the Belgian, who had to do his best to limit his losses.
Evenepool (Soudal Quick Step) said that he wouldn’t mind dropping the red jersey on stage for tactical reasons, but what I didn’t want is spend considerable time in relation to its main competitors in general.
what was unpredictable stageformed a large group of fugitives several runners from top teamssome of them are quite close in general classification to fight for the red jersey.
The race was divided into 11.9 km ascent to the finish line. pending up to 16%But Kuss jumped to the top and got the win who snatched the spotlight from his Jumbo Visma teammates, Roglik and Vingegor, they finished almost to three minutes.
At the end of the stage The American Broker stated:
It was an incredibly difficult stage. We wanted to try and break away just to test the Quick Step and we knew it would be difficult to control this day.
And I add:
All day I felt very, very good, I just thought about when to leave and when to try to change something.

Although Kuss, 28, works for two of his outstanding teammates, now you’re inside second place overallonly eight seconds since Martinez, although he downplayed their prospects of challenging them for ultimate victory.
Spanish Mark Soler (UAE Team Emirates) is third overall, 51 seconds behind the leader, after finishing fifth on the stage.
Evenepoel dropped to ninth positiontrailing Martinez by two minutes and 47 seconds, but the most disturbing thing is that he now leads the winner of the Tour de France, Wingegor, in just five seconds, and the winner of the Giro d’Italia, Roglic, in 11 seconds.
“It’s been a bad day, it’s alright” said Evenpoel. โI began to feel heaviness in my legs, but let’s hope it’s one of the worst days for me.
