spanish cyclist Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorius) wins the tenth stage this Tuesday After sneaking into the day’s split and being the fastest in the final sprint, the winner of the controversial Tour de France over 168km between Vulcania and Issoire broke the ‘curse’ of national cycling, which failed to win in the gala round. five years

The Biscayan cyclist has returned the victory to Spain after 100 stages since Omar Fraile won the 2018 Tour de France. in fifth place in the general classification.

After the rest day, the peloton faced a “leg break” day, perfect for a breakup, and from the first kilometers, attacks in the “large group” followed one another to form the breakup. The most active was Belgian. Wout Van Aert (Jumbo Visma) who tried many timesbut the peloton did not let him escape.

With the peloton grouped together, ten kilometers from the stage, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) and Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo Visma) stepped up to form a section of around 30 riders, including other favorites like Jay Hindley (Bora Hansgrohe) and Carlos Rodríguez. (Ineos Grenadiers), the third and fourth, respectively, failed to sneak in, forcing their crews to take command of the group.

He caught up after ten kilometers, but the high pace had already greatly weakened the group’s strength, leaving runners like France’s David Gaudu (Groupama FDJ) or Romain Bardet (Team DSM) behind. Also, despite many attempts, it still did not allow a leak to occur.

A group of seven, including Pello Bilbao, Mathias Skjelmose Jensen (Lidl Trek) and Kasper Asgreen (Soudal Quick Step), managed to bridge the gap in the peloton. Others such as Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal Quick Step) or Antonio Pedrero (Movistar Team) joined his initiative.

The advantage of this strong ‘group’ was established at around three minutes, taking advantage of the setback in the main roster that seemed to have left the win to the leading ones. Wout Van Aert and Mathieu Van Der Poel (Alpecin Fenix) went hunting, but his adventures were short-lived.
