The Slovenian, as he should be, hardly risked today in a day of hangover after the crushing crossings through the Alpine peaks.

The 26-year-old Danish rider took advantage of the momentum of the day's good break to score his second victory, the previous one in Lyon, in the 14th.

From Bourg en Bresse to Champagnole, the survivors of the round walked in groups along a seesaw path.

Danish cycling, like Slovenian and Colombian cycling, are in vogue on the Tour de los mascarados.

A day when the contenders for the podium saved energy to measure themselves on Saturday in a time trial in which Roglic faces his last obstacle before climbing to the highest step of the podium in Paris.

The Jumbo-Visma leader should not feel uncomfortable in the last test, because he has excellent conditions as a time trialist and climber.

"What I can see so far is that we have done a good job with the team, but there is still nothing to celebrate. After the time trial the final classification will be known. The Tour is far from being a reality," says Roglic.

His compatriot Pogacar faces the time without pressure: "I am happy with what I have achieved. The gap is too big, but I will do everything I can."

Supermán López,

like Pogacar, affirms that the chrono is "more about strength than legs."

Landa clings to the good feelings of this week and affirms: "I am motivated to face it, I have worked a lot in that specialty and I want to do a good time trial".
