Sagan held on through a brutal late climb – whose gradients briefly hit 20 per cent – to contest the finish, where👍 things flattened out near the line. After a challenging 210km of aggressive racing, no one else in the l🔜ead group came close to matching his speed in the final few hundred metres.
Thibaut Pinot moved up to second overall a few hours into the stage when Adam Yates (Orica-Scott) abandoned the race, and the Frenchman then put a small dent into his deficit to race leader 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nairo Quintana (Movistar) by earning six bonus seconds at the line.
Quintana takes a 50-second lead over Pinot into Monday's sixth s⛦tage.
