Ineos Grenadiers leaders 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Egan Bernal and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Geraint Thomas will head into 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tirreno-Adriatico's stage 4 summit finish of Prati di Tivo with respective handicaps of 18 and 19 seconds after being caught in a crash at the end of Friday's stage 3.
The pair were among a large number of riders caught up behind a crash in the final kilometres of th🌜e stage which happ♎ened just outside the three-kilometre mark at which point they would've received the same finishing time as the main peloton.
As a result, Bernal and Thomas rolled across the line 48th and 49th in Gualdo Tadino, both losing time to stage winner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix), but – more importantly – also losing time to GC rivals Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), Nairo Quintana (Arkéa-Samsic), and Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-QuickStep), among others.
The result sees Bernal fall to 28th in the GC after three days of racing, now 38 seconds down on leader Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), who could battle with t꧋he climberཧs on stage 4's summit finish to Prati di Tivo. Thomas is a further place and second behind.
Bernal said ahead of stage 4 that he and his team want to put on a show 🦹on the final climb of the day.
"It’ll be a nice stage with a nice climb. I’ll try to do my best because it’ll be nice to watch, so we want to put on a show. These days my back has been OK. I🃏 felt it at Strade Bianche. These stages have been hard but with no long climb. Today will be different, and it will be a good test for my back.
"We spoke about the climb this morning. It’s be hard but also really fas🃏t, so, yeah, to make a big difference you need to be really stron🥃g, so we’ll do our best, but for sure it’ll be difficult to beat these guys who have a 20-second advantage. You need to have the legs, and I don’t know if I’ll have them or not.
"Today will be a good test, but it’s not the goal number one. I’m trying jus♋t to find my condition. I’ll do my best, but it will be good training for the coming race, alth♛ough if I feel good, I’ll try."
Bernal and Thomas now lie 19 and 20 seconds behind Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victo💞rious), while Alaphilippe has a further nine seeconds.
Pogačar, Quintana, Vincenzo Nibali (Trek-Segafredo), Romain Bardet (Team DSM), Sergio Higuita (EF Education-Nippo), Romain Bardet (Team DSM), Domenico Pozzovivo (Qhubeka Assos), and Jakob Fuglsang (Astana-Premier Tech) all enjoy an 18-second head start on the Colombian.
Meanwhile, Team BikeExchange's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Simon Yates lost further time on stage 3. The reigning champion shed 1:22 on the second stage to Chiusdino and was caught up behind the crash on the run to the line on stage 4. After finishing 29 seco🔯nds down he now liౠes in 48th place, 2:09 behind blue jersey Van Aert.
At the start of stage 4, Yates said that he hoped his time loss would mean he'd get more🅰 leeway from the peloton to🌱 attack on the summit finish.
"Today I’m just riding for the stage, and that’s what it is," he said. ✱"Hope𒅌fully the guys for GC will give me some freedom, because I mean I’m already over two minutes, and it’s too much.
"I don’t think it’s the moment to be in really good condition. We still have a long time until the Giro. I’m OK the feelings are good, but I think I’m just miꦆssing some racing."
Other notable names out of the GC picture after three days of racing incl𒐪ude🍌 Groupama-FDJ's Thibaut Pinot (74th at 9:28), and Gazprom-RusVelo leader Ilnur Zakarin (47th at 2:05).
