Colossal flight of Pogacar in the hell of Flanders
The Danish rises to the wave of those who do not leave even the crumbs. He no longer looks only at the Tour, which will be the real battle back in July. On the roads of the Basque Country, where the fans howl at the heroes, the Jumbo Visma completed a new solo exhibition in the queen stage with a finish in Eibar: it was his third partial triumph, the one that rounded off the general, the one that placed the txapela, the one that unites O Gran Camiño and the Paris-Nice team time trial.
Vingegaard, the first Dane to conquer the Tour of the Basque Country, escorted on the podium finally by Mikel Landa and Ion Izagirre, relieves Daniel Felipe Martínez in the palmares. A brutal attack on the climb to Izua, the penultimate of the route, still 30 kilometers from the finish line, ended what was given. Enric Mas tried to follow the wheel of the often climber, but was not able. Landa had relented earlier. Later, the pursuit of the group that was formed from behind, far from being understood, was unable to cut anything to the Jumbo, which went down risking, without speculating, second two years ago in the Itzulia. James Knox (Soudal Quick-Step) was second in Eibar at 47 seconds.
