On paper stage 15 of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia didn't look suited to the characteristics of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Adam Yates but the Brit impressed in th🦋e Bergamo finale to finish in f♓ourth place.

While Yates recorded his best result yet in four Grand Tours, the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Orica-Scott rider also moved up to 11th🍨 on GC ahead of the decisive third and final week oꦓf the 100th Giro.

"I didn't quite have it in the sprint. I felt good in the finale but Jungels🌳ꦗ is a good 10kg heavier than me and I couldn't match his power," Yates said of the stage won by Bob Jungels (Quick-Step Floors).

"I hit out just after 300metre to go, but perhaps I went too early. I hit the front in the final 50metres before everyone flew past me. Congratulations to Bob 🍌Jungels though,൲ it was a good victory."

Yates was sitting in third place overall on the morning of the first summit finish of the race to Blockhaus only to drop to 16th after being 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:involved in a crasܫh with a police mot🐷o. While the likes of Geraint Thomas was ultimately forced to abandon the race due to his
injuries from the crash, Yates escaped with only minor injuries a🍌nd had steadily been improving his GC position in the 🧸second week.

The 24-year-old explained that the work of his teammate has been instrumental in climbing the GC and is loo⛄king forward to finishing off the Giro in his preferred terra🐲in of the mountains.

"The team were great again today. We s💜at back and waited for the break to form and that took almost 100km. Then we committed to the stage and the boys really laid it down," Yates added.

"All-in-all another good day. We will enjoy the rest day tomorrow an✅d get set for a big final week."

Ya꧑tes though won't be able to count on the work of teammate and sprinter Caleb Ewan who will be a non-starter on Tuesday. Alexander Edmondson's future in the race is uncertain with the Australian's injuries to be assessed on the rest day before a decision is made whether he continue💙s.
