The last stage, with end in the dreaded lagoons of Neila, left drama, attacks and a perfect mixture of cross ambitions: stage victory for an Italian, title for a Latin American and Colombian presence highlighted in the positions of honor.
The menu of the day was not for shy leg cyclists: two third category ports, one first and an out of category, where only the toughest escalators survive. The initial escape, composed of five runners, had freedom for a few hours, but the calm broke into the final climb when the favorites decided to open the gas and erase any dream of escape.
On the road, Giulio Ciccone (Lidl Trek) and the Mexican Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates) were the main protagonists. The Italian sought partial glory; The Mexican, ensure the general. And they got it: Ciccone first crossed the goal, while Del Toro dressed as purple as champion of the return.
For Colombia, the day left good feelings. Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) resisted in the persecutor group and even encouraged to launch attacks in the final part, ending sixth in the stage, 36 seconds from the winner. Diego Pescador (Movistar Team) also showed consistency, signing the ninth place 55 seconds.
In the general, Bernal's effort in Neila allowed him to climb to sixth position, 59 seconds from Del Toro. Fisherman closed in 15th position, confirming solid performance in a race that requires regularity and courage.
The title went to Mexico, but Colombia made it clear that it is still present in the great appointments. Bernal reappears in positions of prominence and fisherman, with just a few years in the professional platoon, continues to accumulate experience on land that mark the great climbers.
