Thibau Nys (Lidl-Trek) defended brilliantly to claim overall victory at the Tour de Hongrie as Wout Poels won stage 5ꩲ after a brutally tough uphill finale into Pécs.

After his two back-to-back stage wins, Nys mark🐻ed moves and emptied the tank to defend his yellow jersey, holding off attacks from Marc Hirschi (U﷽AE Team Emirates) and Emanuel Buchmann (Bora-Hansgrohe).
