Thomas handled himself well at the finish. As the first of several escapees, Andrea Pietrobon from Polti Kometa swerved a few hundred meters before the goal, but he let him go and drove away.
Michael Valgren from EF was looking for a barrel at the head of the straight line. And when he saw that he was speeding up, he also wrote.
The 28-year-old Frenchman from Cofidis, in addition to road cycling, is also dedicated to cycling, and first of all, with great strength and a powerful engine. He gradually got to the front, overtook the leading Pietrobona and then dealt with Valgren as well.
He started the dog with a jump. He immediately threw his hands in the air, celebrating. In the career, he wrote ten stories. That is not included.
Valgren and Pietrobon finished behind him, and Enzo Paleni from Groupama was second only to the influencer. The peloton finished eleven seconds later, the strongest of them was Jonathan Milan from Trek, who took fifth place ahead of Caleb Ewan from Jayco and Phil Bauhaus from Bahrain.
Milan was certainly not satisfied. After the third triumph in the fourth stage, he hoped that he would continue to improve.
The sprinter really ran away from the sprint stage. A total of 178 kilometres, only two hills, albeit a technically urban reach, mostly flat. Moreover, after the start, only a couple of riders went into the daily niche, and in the middle of the stage, they had it at the balk and the group was together.
Only seventy-seven kilometers ahead of the track, two nova started. And here in the peloton, Josef ern from Quick-Step also worked in his group, he couldn’t finish.
Fifteen kilometers before the customs, Thomas et al. to a good 50 seconds, seven and a half kilometers before the dog’s 40. And even though the peloton gained enormous speed at the very end, the result was enough for the small jump.
We are working on the details…
