Another dramatic day on stage 6 of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Vuelta a España saw the race lead change once again as Kenny Elissonde (Trek-Segafredo) cracked on the final uphill test, while Magnus Cort (EF Education-Nippo) held off a late charge from 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) to win the stage. 

Roglič finished on the same time as Cort and created a neat gap on his main rivals in the general classification, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aleksandr Vlasov (Astana-PremierTech) and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enric Mas (Movistar) finishing four seconds back and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) a furthe🌳r four seconds in arrears. 

The move from Roglič puts the two-time defending champion back in the race lead with a 25-second buffer Mas, and 36 seconds over the Spaniard’s teammate Miguel Angel Lopez. In fact, Movistar sit second through to fourth in the overall standings, with Alejandro Valverde at 41 seconds, tied on time with Roglič's main rival, Bernal.

It was Movistar who did most of the damage leading up to the final climb, with the bunch splitting several times as echelons formed. The biggest casualty was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Hugh Carthy (EF Education-Nippo) who lost contact twice and, although he made it back to the peloton just before the short sharp final test, eventually had to slip back and concede 2:50 to Roglič. 

The third-p💯laced finisher from last year is now in 33rd position overall, at 4:28 – his hopes for a hig♏h place in this year’s edition now all but over. 

Carthy wasn’t the only GC rider to lose time, though. Although the rest of the gaps were relatively small, it was telling that Bernal once more couldn’t follow Roglič on the climb. He wasn’t the only Ineos rider to lose ground, with Adam Yates shipping 25 seconds and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Richard Carapaz 27. Giulio Ciccone (Trek-Segafredo) lost 25 seconds, too, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorio🐽us) finishing on the same time as Carapᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚaz.

Lilian Cal൩mejane (AG2R Citroën) had started the day in third overall but he slipped back to eighth as the majority of the GC contenders moved up two or three places. Vlasov’s fourth place saw him climb five places and he now sits sixth at 53 seconds and on the s♛ame time as Ciccone.

Landa remains in ninth, while Fabio Aru's (Q🦋hubeka NextHash) overall consistency has seen him move from 12th to 10th. Felix Großschartner (Bora-Hansgrohe) made the biggest leap in the top 20, moving up 11 places to 15th.

Roglič's lead is far from insurmountable at this point, and the gaggle of Movistar riders on his shoulder will be a concern, but the Slovenian looks relatively comfortable at this point in the race. Bernal in sixth remains the biggest threat on paper, but the Colombian will need to start making inroads, or at the very least stem the small but important time losses, if he is to take his second Grand Tour win of 2021.

With Carapaz now over two minutes down, and Yates at 1:22, Bernal has taken at least another step to cementing his place as Ineos’ out-right leader. However, with 1:17 separating the top 10 riders, the race dynamic and standings are likely to change once again on stage 7 when the race finishes at𓂃 th🐓e top of the first-category Balcón de Alicante.
