Long in the lead, the Spaniard will console himself by taking the leader’s pink jersey in a few moments.
17:04 – Taaramae 30″ from the leading men
Nice climb by the rider from La Wanty who is virtually third, even if he will be too short to catch the two leading men.
17:03 – An agreement between Lopez and Kamna?
The two leading men have just spoken to each other at the head of the race. Physically blunt, Lopez can still dress in pink tonight while Kamna wants to put her arms up in less than 2km.
