Barguil crowns escaped in Fermo and Pogacar retains the lead

the french cyclist Warren Barguil (Team Arkéa Samsic) has won the fifth stage of the Tyrrhenian-Adriaticdisputed between Sefro and Fermo over 155 kilometers, being the strongest in the breakaway, and behind there were no major changes and Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) continues with the leader’s ‘maglia azzurra’.

Beautiful stage in the ‘Carrera de los dos Mares’ with a finish on the cobbled walls of Fermo, where Warren Barguil He brought out his best face to climb alone towards the finish line, where he celebrated in style the seventh victory of his career. Xander Meurisse (Alpecin-Fenix) was second, 10 seconds behind, and Simon Velasco (Astana) was third, at 14.

The escape triumphed over the large group, but the escape could have had a very different ending if it were not for the mistake of the trio formed Remco Evenepoel (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team), jonas vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and the leader Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates).

Evenepoel he attacked 8 kilometers from the finish line and they went with him Pogacar and Vingegaard, with almost 1:30 lost regarding the breakaway head. And, about two kilometers later and very close to hunting, they took the wrong route, went long instead of taking a sharp right-hander, and this ended their hunting attempt.

Also, the Belgian Evenepoel, who looked strong, led with conviction and when he reached that intersection, poorly marked and with just a few judges indicating with their arms that they should turn, he was the most affected. He had to do more meters back and it was difficult for him to get back into the group, where there were no more serious attacks.

Just Richie Porter (INEOS Grenadiers) tried to move on the hard final ramps on stone and cobblestones, taking a 2 second lead on Pogacar, VingegaardOwn Evenepoel hey Mikel Landa (Bahrain-Victorious) who entered with the best. Pogacar still leading with 9 seconds on Evenepoel in the provisional general.
